A woman's job!

I REALLY hope (and assume) you're either kidding or under influence of something at the moment...

There's no such thing as a woman's job or a man's job.

News flash..."irony" doesn't mean clothes pressing , and "wry" isn't just a type of bread!
While a sense of humor isn't a legal requirement, it should be!

The whole point of gender assigned roles is to make use of the abilities each party possesses to create a symbiotic relationship...it has been many years since I had to slaughter a Mastodon for supper, but even longer (forever) since I had to go thru childbirth. ( Only the poor seahorse has to do that!)
I think the problem with gender assigned roles is when they are mandatory, not when they are willingly accepted.
My daughter likes dolls, dress up, and pink...I try to get her to acquire non-gender assigned skills (baseball, martial arts, sloppy dressing) but she prefers girly stuff. She is a natural athelete, and hits a ball 20-30 ft easily since 3 years old; she still prefers girl stuff, and I love it.
She'll find her way on her own, but she is destined to be a female player.
Just as long as she takes care of Daddy when he's too feeble to put his teeth in by himself!:D

Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Under my thumb
The girl who once pushed me around
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Ain't it the truth babe?
Under my thumb
The squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me, yes it is
The way she does just what she's told
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
Ah, ah, say it's alright
Under my thumb
A siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb
She's the sweetest, hmmm, pet in the world
It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Ah, take it easy babe
Yeah
It's down to me, oh yeah
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Yeah, it feels alright
Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept to herself
Under my thumb, well I
I can still look at someone else
It's down to me, oh that's what I said
The way she talks when she's spoken to
Down to me, the change has come,
She's under my thumb
Say, it's alright.
Say it's all...
Say it's all...
Take it easy babe
Take it easy babe
Feels alright
Take it, take it easy babe.


...good song, but I agree with Fox. I have fantasies that include a woman doing a "womans job" in that sort of sexist manner, but that's all it is is a fantasy.

I want a woman that can cook, because I can't, but I want her to teach me how. If she wants to cook and clean, fine, but I think I can handle a vacum. Are y'all saying women are better and dusting and vacuming? If so, y'all are some pretty dumb fellas who need a robot, not a woman. Or a butler (No maids for you).

Really, I need a girl who fits the description of the song "Ruby Tuesday" by the same duo of fellas who wrote the above song: The Rolling Stones. She can't be chained by standards a sexist, overall bigoted society sets for her based on myths, religion and male ego. I believe intelligence is an equally attainable amongst all humans, disregarding a few with mental handicaps. So, I believe with her mind a woman can do anything a man can do. We are equal there. Physically, in general, if you asked about, women may fall short, but their are plenty out their who can. All it takes is a little body building, but I don't want a BBB.

Nice song, fox. What style of music do you perform? Play any instruments?

.Peace.
 
I don't know. I think I would just talk to my significant other about it so we could mutually come up with an arrangement that suits both of us the best and where we share the work. I like being self-sufficient and being able to do everything so I wouldn't accept anything as not my type of job. If she wanted to look at it the same way I wouldn't have any problems with it. I think I would just go with works best, and besides the extremely taxing physical things we should both have the ability to do any of the normal daily task. As long as things that needed to get done got done it doesn't really matter to me.

I don't think it's something to be joked about, but carry on laughing amongst yourselves. I see gender inequality the same way I see racial inequality, so joking about what a woman's role should be - cooking, cleaning, fucking - for me, is like joking about what a black man's job or an irish man's job or a latino man's job should be.
Why did I think we could have some fun here without Dr. Downer butting in? Maybe it's those Laotian Stick/Santa Marta Columbian combo joints I smoked back in the 70's coming back to haunt me?
...nope, I checked; it's just Dr.D. on his downer patrol. (sigh)
I'll just go back to what I was doing before I was having fun with you guys...

Her' Dokktor...good choice of song.:thumbsup:
 
^Cool. Lemme know when it is finished and I wouldn't mind a copy.

Philbert, the song was posted for the simple fact I was listening. Not that it is my belief a woman should be controlled. Read my ENTIRE post.

Herr'D...I didn't think you think that women should be controlled...I did read your entire post. I thought your choice was a good "teasing", and was a good example of humor through extreme.
This thread was started in a teasing manner, and is for fun with a few exceptions.
I don't think Legzman is a woman beater any more than I think you're a sexist...or any of the other guys who got the "joke" and posted.
Fox goes on and on about how dysfunctional his gf's ex was, and how bad his early years were, then paints everyone with his personal life brush.
When he was getting his shitty diapers changed by a (probably) female I was living sexual equality and helping to bring about gender freedom.
He doesn't know anything about most of the members who posted, but that doesn't stop him from his generalizing...he's exactly the same as those racists and sexists he slams in his pontificating. He puts people in a category with no basis except some idea he has come up with, not based on respect or knowledge but something he decided is how things should be, or are.
A person who beats someone for any reason except self defense is an a-hole...different subject entirely. A sexist has an ideology he or she lives, which isn't any different than Fox.
A violent person can be any kind of idealogue...animal rights, anti abortion, gender equality, anti-war, or any number of philosophies...their violence is rooted in a lack of respect for others, a lack of real empathy for other's suffering.
Similar to the verbal violence Dr. Downer employs against many of the members he goes off on for any or no real reason.
One of his many statements to me..." You're from Texas? I never would have guessed." shows his lack of real compassion or respect...forget any vestige of humility. Is that to mean all Texans are racist, sexist, violent...etc.? He's obviously a Texist...assuming what he has decided is the end of the discussion, he puts all of the people living here in a category and treats us all the same.
Sort of like the "...ist people he rails against a lot.
So, I really don't pay too much attention to what he has to say, there is no substance to his generalizing and lumping together of many different types of people and activities to suit some idea he has come up with.
Hopefully, some one besides me has seen the irony of his diatribes about sexists and his involvememnt in the most sexist of activities...the contests and polls he does. Women as extreme sex objects? No sexism there...:rofl:

[/QUOTE]Smart people like you, Philbert, who are actually opposed to change and are actually secretly supportive of sexism etc, will go to great lengths (such as your post) to prove that the people that are fighting against prejudice are prejudiced, and therefore discredit them. WHY would someone ever do that? Why would someone that believes in equality fight against someone that was shouting about equality? Because you are against it Philbert! Be honest.
O.K., I'll bite.
So, prove your assertations that I'm
A)actually opposed to change
B)secretely supportive of sexism (c'mon...if it's a secret, how'd you find out?)
C) for predjudice because I'm trying to discredit someone shouting against predjudice, by pointing out your inconsistencies in logic and your using your predjudices to accuse others of being the same
D)that I'm against equality, and I'm not honest.

And just this one time, try to be rational and honest!

Try debating amongst yourselves through PM. We get it. You don't like his views. He thinks your views are crap. "Nuff said.
 
Here's some old croakers:

How does a man open a beer bottle?
Shouldn't have to. It should already be open when she brings it to him.

Why do women have smaller feet?
Evolutionary programming that enables them to stand closer to the dish sink...

He's obviously a Texist...
Texist! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
Bloody Texans and their republic of bloody Texas! "There is only one religion in Texas - football!" :tongue:

cheers,

Hooah to that. Geez, its like the old adage, I ask you for the time and you tell me how clocks are made!

Fox, calm down! Admitting that we're comfortable in our roles doesnt translate to some advocating of beatings and mistreatment! We arent *The Man* and we're not oppressing or in-secretly control of the world. We're everyday guys doing the equivalent of sitting around and shootin' the sh!t!

And if I wanted to split hairs, your writings of long winded posts on here against sexism is like me trying to save the rainforest by growing a Jade Plant on top of my TV! Brother.. you're preaching to the cornfield 20 miles AWAY from the frickin' church!
 
Well I'm a Care Assistant, and a lot of people think that I'm gay, because they think that Nursing is a job that only women and gay men do. This is the 21st century, but old attitudes linger on.

I feel ya. I've been a CNA, EMT-B, etc.. and around nurses way too often. I agree and add this: I felt a certain twinge of wtf the first time I watched "Meet the Family" and De Niro made fun of Stiller for being a nurse. Dangit, he aint wearing the dress!

A womans Job is quite simple:

Have the mans meal ready for the man to eat as soon as he has got home from work and finished up in the bathroom
 
A Man's Job -

1) Mow the lawn (then doesn't clean out the grass box correctly, it clogs the motor, next time around stands hours puzzling why the damn thing won't work and proceeds to complain how they don't make things like they used too)

2) Fire up the grill (produces meat that is either so burnt it breaks a tooth, or undercooked so we all end up with food poisoning)

3) Knows the way on a 10 minute drive without directions (spends hours driving around in circles STILL insisting it's right around the next corner)

4) Can produce a flat pack without instructions (spends hours bitching that they haven't providing enough screws, nails, parts until finally looks at the instructions and still takes an extra four hours trying to fathom out which nail is Nail C)


*Post was made all in the interests of good humor :D
