This is something I don't get.

Men is willing to work 12 hours a day, sharing his income and house, but asking for a hot dinner when he comes home is slavery.

HOW? You are not the first woman to say this shit, but how the fuck is that even comparable?

@D00B @djsumdog @MaceDindu @mushroom_soup @georgia @s8n
The woman brain is real. No matter what body is it born in.

I cannot believe, but this is beyond "passing".

@LukeAlmighty @djsumdog @MaceDindu @D00B @mushroom_soup @s8n it's an exploitative division of labor. "i provide money so they're dependent on me and perform chores". might as well have a servant or a child.

@georgia @djsumdog @MaceDindu @D00B @mushroom_soup @s8n
How the fuck is it exploiting the women, when she can leave any day with 1/2 of his shit, money and a stable income from him UNDER A SEVERE PENALTY if he refuses to pay her even after she leaves?

Damn... you are a next level of hypocrite.

@georgia @djsumdog @MaceDindu @LukeAlmighty @D00B @mushroom_soup @s8n

I wish my wife exploited me in such a way. Doing the "getting money" part is hard.

@georgia @djsumdog @MaceDindu @D00B @mushroom_soup @s8n
Men offeres you the very best deal he is able to provide, yet you consider it exploititive, because he might not do EVERYTHING on his own.

Wow. Did you get this from Marx?

@georgia @LukeAlmighty @D00B @MaceDindu @mushroom_soup @s8n If you treat it like that, you’re not going to have a good relationship.

Everyone should want to contribute to making a working family. If you see contributing as being a servant, you’re treating a family like it’s a job or career.

@djsumdog @D00B @LukeAlmighty @MaceDindu @mushroom_soup @s8n asking for a division of labor that isn't entirely stratified with men having hard power and women soft is asking for an equal division of labor not NO labor

@georgia @djsumdog @MaceDindu @D00B @mushroom_soup @s8n
My boss is making billions, while I am sitting on my ass, making only a shitton for an easy job.

He can fire me any day, and I cannot make a shitton without him. IS HE EXPLOITING ME?

NOOOOO!!!!!
He is the BEST offer I could ever wish for.

@georgia @djsumdog @MaceDindu @D00B @mushroom_soup @s8n
Sheep sitting on my ass making a shitton of money while university educated marxist ubermench are preparing my burger.

Not sure this also tracks
​:thinking_cirno:​

Saying a man has hard power because he brings in money and a woman only soft power because she takes care of hearth and home severely underestimates the value of that labor. While taking care of the home may or may not be as materially rewarding as working an outside job, it is still extremely important and valuable.

Hell, I'd actually argue that up to a point the person staying home has more power over things than the one going out to work. Frequently, they're the ones who get to decide how the home is setup and run. What is and isn't bought to large degrees. Control budgets. Influence future generations. On and on. This is not to say the one earning "the money" is powerless. Just to say that I think it isn't useful to discount the power the one at home has. Money isn't everything after all

@wolfie @georgia @mushroom_soup @LukeAlmighty @s8n @MaceDindu @djsumdog im telling you this is how women think they have nothing when they can have everything but don't want to

@wolfie @D00B @georgia @mushroom_soup @s8n @MaceDindu @djsumdog
>This is not to say the one earning "the money" is powerless.

Ok, I will say it then.
The one earning "the money" is powerless.

@wolfie @D00B @georgia @mushroom_soup @LukeAlmighty @s8n @MaceDindu I do have a male friend who got laid off from being an auto-mechanic during the shutdown and his wife picked up more hours as a nurse; so they decided he should be the one to raise the kids. He takes care of all three of them, maintains the house, is trying to learn Python, and plans on returning to the workforce when the youngest two start school.

@djsumdog @MaceDindu @D00B @mushroom_soup @wolfie @georgia @s8n
I am so happy for him, and I hope you exception will not become an example of the rule.

@djsumdog@djsumdog.com @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club @D00B@kiwifarms.cc @MaceDindu@freespeechextremist.com @mushroom_soup@kiwifarms.cc @s8n@posting.lolicon.rocks 100% correct. A lot of this, I believe, comes from a deep misunderstanding of the importance of someone taking care of the home. Man, woman, robot, quantum AI, whatever. It needs doing and is just as important as going out and making money

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz @LukeAlmighty@gameliberty.club @djsumdog@djsumdog.com @MaceDindu@freespeechextremist.com @D00B@kiwifarms.cc @mushroom_soup@kiwifarms.cc @s8n@posting.lolicon.rocks Not sure this tracks either. It could be rephrased as "I provide a comfortable home and good food and take care of the kids, you only provide money" and it is still a true statement. While having no strong feelings on such an arrangement either way, I see nothing wrong with such a division of labor regardless of who is staying home and who goes to work. Both jobs need doing. Both roles are important. Neither role will be as successful without the other ​:thinking_cirno:​

Trust me, being stay at home dad is a dream compared to slaving away 12 hours a day.

But women use that "option" as an argument BECAUSE they do know that the opposite will never happen.

It is like saying "Give me money, once it reaches a billion, I will give 120 percent to charity"
