@kutee They don’t work for everyone, or they would be automatic. No one would do anything else.

@kutee Maybe from like the 1900's to the 1950's or so, but before that women worked just as much, if not more than men AND had kids.
The world wars had huge influx of women entering the workforce een more. Then at the end of WW2, women were let go, so men could have jobs back, and that started the "homemaker" period.

@kutee They don’t work for everyone, it’s possible to have a baby without a husband. And there are single fathers. If it worked across the board no one would choose other options. And there are many cultures where both men and women work outside the home.

@kutee Yes they have worked in the past and still do... but not completely and not always. There are things that my wife leaves to me that were traditionally thought of as "woman's work" and I let her take care of things that were traditionally "man's work" just because the other happens to be better at it. For example, I do the shopping and the cooking...there is no real such thing as man's or woman's duties or work in our marriage, we just do whatever works best for us in any given situation.

@kutee Doesn’t matter. If it worked no one would choose other options. Being forced into gender roles doesn’t mean it’s “working”.
GoodCatholicGirl · F
@bijouxbroussard It does if people are happier that way.
bijouxbroussard · F
@GoodCatholicGirl But obviously some are not happier, or they wouldn’t choose other options.
bijouxbroussard · F
@kutee That might be why so many emigrate to other countries where they have other choices.
indyjoe · 56-60, M
@bijouxbroussard And to add to what you say, today there are House husbands who take care of the home and kids while the wife goes out and "earns the bacon" too.

@bijouxbroussard I wonder if anyone else has noticed that this person who is arguing in favor of strict gender roles is a bisexual transsexual, doesn't even live in the countries he mentioned, and doesn't even give an age for himself when implying that age has a factor in the answers they've been giving...🤔

@indyjoe I just noticed that and found it very ironic. Only in a society where gender roles are fluid do transpeople (or LGBTQ) have any hope of inclusion. Traditional cultures tend to only accept people as the gender of their births with heterosexuality the only “norm”.
