Why do some feminists complain about women having to work AND do the chores? -

when men never asked women to go out to work in the first place ? Werent it women inspired by the feminists movement who wanted to go get a job and earn their own money ?|::::|Having more freedom, rights and responsibilities do not make women happier. Women are complex creatures who have a huge yearning and desire for something more than this world can give us. In fact, it is our nature to be this way. True fulfillment rests in an understanding and practical application of spiritual principles. I have included a couple of links which explain this.

Of course amount of work and amount of chores should be split proportionally. For example if a man works full time and his partner worked part time it would be perfectly acceptable for him to expect his partner to do more chores than he does but the same goes the other way round. If a woman works longer hours than a man in the relationship then the man should do more of the chores.|::::|Men never asked women to go out to work in the first place? LMFAO. What are you talking about? The original reason women entered the workplace was because men went off to war, and women had to take up the slack. Then as inflation went up, it became too difficult to support a family on a single salary, so most families needed two incomes to survive. So yes, men did ask women to enter the workplace, because if they didn t, they wouldn t be able to support their families.|::::|Well, in fact a lot of women have always had to work. And generally been expected to look after the household as well. However, the idea that being a housewife was so easy that a woman could do a full-time job and fit the housework in in an hour or so was actually the original feminist idea, as put forward by Betty Friedan. That was the idea behind housewives going out to work, that they didn t have enough to do at home and were consequently becoming bored and having a damaging effect on their husbands and families. So said Ms Friedan anyway. But when women started to do it, they suddenly found that the housework that was supposed to be such a doddle wasn t after all, and they all started complaining about it. Feminism is a very strange thing.|::::|If both are living in the house and both are working and paying the bills, BOTH should be doing the chores. Who cares if he never asked the woman to work. He doesn t have to pay the full bills, his wife (or significant other) has her own money, and they compliment each other instead of one being dependent on the other. If they are both working, there is NO reason whatsoever that the man shouldn t be helping around the house. Why shouldn t he? Like I said, its his house too, and his mess too. What s so wrong with working together as a team?|::::|In the quot;good old daysquot; when most married women didn t hold paying jobs, housework was easier for them because they lived in smaller homes and they didn t have as many items cluttering them up. Not only that, but many of them also had maids and housekeepers to help out. Now that people live in larger houses and have many more items filling them up, housework has gotten more difficult. Larger houses take more time to clean and clutter creates more mess and traps dust.|::::|They don t have to, they choose to. Men don t complain about working longer hours or commuting further, because they choose to.|::::|Because if both partners work, then both should also do the chores. Women s lives should not be constrained simply because men are lazy.|::::|Well they dug their own hole. I m sure some go back to just cleaning because they realize that work is harder than doing some little chores.|::::|Feminists just like to complain is all.|::::|slaves get stronger and the ones who sit in front of the screens get weaker|::::|If you are male, get lost :s
