Annoyed at not being a lesbian

[Howdyboob]

Yea of course I'm generalising to an extent.

But honestly I'm sure we all know that women are more competent at life in 90% of areas.

Im straight and my DH is handsome and wonderful etc but good lord all of the men in my life husband family friends etc are absolutely useless without their female counterparts instructing them how to survive.

DH has had to sort his shit out in the last year because I've been on a rampage but FFS do men not understand that their value has enormously decreased since women too work?

I'm about ready to batter about 5 men I personally know.

In the last few years I've started to lose all respect for men. Since my wonderful dad died I feel like all adult men are 15yo boys.

Actually, I think women are in the military these days as well as men.
The reason women are not often on the front line is because of the threat and reality of rape - you know, because of men.
But again, this scenario is a long way from why do many men not think domestic stuff is their responsibility. Jimmy might get called up, so God forbid that he does the dishes when he gets home?

That is part of the issue though. Men aren't useless in the workplace. But some men step through their front door and suddenly become incapable of spotting what needs doing or acting on their own initiative. They don't act like that at work.

A lot of those roles are very physical. The vast majority of women would struggle in them.

You don't sound quite as clever as you think you do.

Unfortunately, your ignorance where war is concerned is breathtakingly naive

Well, let's take Ukraine as an example. At the beginning of the war all the women were allowed to leave. Not the case for the men, why?

I agree OP. I am so grateful to have a female partner. Dealing with straight men seems tiresome and shit.

There are an awful lot of very mediocre men in high up well paid jobs in the world of work, who talk a good talk, speak loud and fast, don't let anyone get a word in edgeways and manage to con people into thinking it makes them more intelligent.

there are equally some very mediocre women as well but the difference is there are many more of them in lower paid admin type roles than men. Women without a doubt have to work quadrupley hard to get noticed and bag the more senior positions.

You have to be stunningly brilliant to be noticed, where a man just has to be a man. And they genuinely don't know their male privilege, they think they've got to where they are because they're great.

😂

To be fair, so would a lot of men. I am also not sure that some caring and medical roles are any less physical when you are on your feet all day and lifting patients.
Still besides the point as the issue was about sharing work in the home and childcare there, not a man’s ability to do a job. But I think you know that.

No, the issue with a lot of posters is the lazy, sexist stereotype of "all men are useless". But I think you know that.

Again, what does this have to do with sharing domestic and childcare roles outside of a war scenario?

I mean, war is most mothers’ worst nightmare as their sons will be sent off to fight. You know, the sons they carried, birthed, nursed and probably did the lion’s share of domestic work and childcare for, year in year out And mostly, wars are not instigated by women. It’s not the mothers choosing this and for the most part, not the women either. Whereas if a man comes home and sits back on a sofa every night, whilst his wife or female partner is making dinner and putting the kids to bed, he is choosing this. He is choosing his comfort and leisure over hers. I don’t think that is difficult to understand.

If this post was as racist as much as it was sexist how long do you think it would stay up? Serious question.

Talking a lot but not answering the question. I wonder why.

You're right OP. Being with a woman is a million times better than being with a man for all the reasons you say and more.

The simple fact is that society and the world as a whole would collapse without men. Of course, you would never admit that.

At a population level, most men do less housework and childcare whilst prioritising their leisure and earning potential. Etc.
I personally have not argued that ‘all men are useless’ as this would be a reductive argument, but unfortunately, many men do not see housework and childcare as their responsibility and this means many women experience a level of frustration at what could be construed as uselessness in this domain.
And then you find that when you try to explain this, their response is to start talking about what else men do 🤦‍♀️
No, it’s the inequalities in the home and in childcare which are the point.

Yes, indeed, and life is too short to engage more.

Boom! The misandry is real.

Anyway, would you like to answer the question?

At a population level, most men do less housework and childcare whilst prioritising their leisure and earning potential

Indeed. Societal expectations around the role of men and women contribute to this.
And it's women who end up disadvantaged in the home and in the workplace.

Well, let's take Ukraine as an example. At the beginning of the war all the women were allowed to leave. Not the case for the men, why?

Not all women have left. Lots chose not to. But to answer your question: taking women and children away from a war zone has a very obvious reason. The same reason that women and children were evacuated from London during the blitz.

I think also looking at the history of the behaviour of the Russian army might make you understand why it might be wise to offer women the choice to leave.

I think that used to be more the case but women can also blag their way up to the top now. Look at the thoroughly mediocre Liz Truss. It was difficult in Thatchers's time.
