Why is it that men sit there smoking and playing with their phone, while the woman feeds the child and takes care of them?
Were they not there when they conceived the child??

Because sexism exists. People don't like to admit it but even in the simple things like that it's still prevalent. A woman can work, make more than her husband and her husband sometimes washes the dishes and everybody's like "problem solved!". But take a look at who always has to be there doing something.all.the.time. The day when I see most men taking INITIATIVE to clean, take care of their children, do most of the chores without being asked and without being praised for it either and actually doing it every single day will be the day that I will believe the patriarchy doesn't exist anymore.

@HannibalAteMeOut We hear it when she helps him in work or business matters, because that is supposedly not a woman’s strength. A friend asked something recently that would probably upset people here, but it’s food for thought:
"Would transgenderism still be an issue if gender equality was accepted fact ? Would it matter, if the aspects that made you feel like you were born in the wrong body were suddenly just alternate aspects of being the gender you were born ?" 🤯

@bijouxbroussard I've wondered the same many times, what if we stopped defining femininity and masculinity the way we currently do... I guess only trans people can tell us though.

generally speaking men do what is expected of them, no more and... well, I almost said no less, but that often isn't true. Anyway, men do what is expected of them and there really isn't any reason to think anything different will happen.
Expecting them to change without communicating that expectation won't work, and even then it is going to take a few generations to get the message across. Once a man sees his father being a full participant in raising children and doing what is needed around the house, his expectations will change.
So, and don't get me wrong, but until women demand full participation and teach it to their children, nothing will change.

Poor premarital choices? My hubby loved having a baby on his shoulder and cooking dinner while got a break after breast feeding. He loved it.

@TexChik Can you expand on the poor premarital choices part?

You didn’t set the tone right away. Should have from day one said, “I can’t do this alone, I need some help sometimes”…
