Why we expect so much from men?

If women have freedom to choose whether they want to be housewife or work outside then why can't men choose? Why men does not have freedom to play house husband or stay at home dad? Why we always expect men to find a job and earn money?

Because as much as we've fought "the patriarchy", many women are still attached to it in ways they don't even realize. Rather than a partnership of two equal, competent adults, some still think in terms of the white knight or the prince coming to save them. Men should be able to choose, and should also have such options without their masculinity being questioned.

At this point it's becoming less acceptable for a woman to be stay at home. Everyone's supposed to dive into their careers

@cycleman: I agree with pregnant part
@cycleman: But I know plenty of men whose places are spotless---especially men with backgrounds in the military. And lots of men can cook quite well. On the other hand, not all women are neat (moves clutter aside). 😇

@dumpstermeow: not exactly. Just some guys that are happy to stay home while you go to work.

@Peaceful: as long as they're cute and know how to cook and clean, I'm in 😃

Men have a higher sex drive and it's harder for men to get laid compared to women, so women can use their vagina's to extort money from men and sit at home all day being a housewife knowing they're getting their husband's money because they're giving sex.

@tynamite: issues much?

@tynamite: seriously dude? You need help if you think housewife do not work. Men and women both need equal sex. Wives are not prostitutes who use vagina to earn money from husband. They get money because they make family and take care it.

Amen to that sister. There's lot of irresponsible and immature, not to mention abusive men out there. You can't live with them if such kind of people as a husband. It's always safe to have a career and get settled for a woman before the commitment. I learned that from my mother's marriage with a psychopath.
I can become house husband :)

The idea of staying home and taking care of kids frightens me.

@StevetheSleeve: lols.... But it increase bonding between dad and children. Also women find men more sexier taking care of his kids.

@minnie: I can appreciate both those things but I'm afraid it would reduce me to a quivering mass.

I understand. Sometimes idea of being housewife freaks me out too.

That freedom is decreasing for most people.

Good questions

I think everyone should work and earn money for a while to learn to earn and appreciate the energy and time that goes into receiving that money. Then after people become a couple what they choose to do if their head are kept above water is their business as far as I am concerned.
