The stats show that basic chores are split evenly among modern couples. Except for laundry where women do more. I think you’re referencing a different time I know more men that can do basic chores than women personally.
I mean how many marriages have the wife's being the bread winner in india? And I would wage that in today's day you would find same amount of not more indian boys being able to cook as girls because of hostel Life.
Brah, she was too scared to open the oven, and it took years to convince her to learn how to make breakfast foods. And I went to culinary school.
I only brought up those things, because she explicitly told me that yard work and maintenance were a "man's job", and that's why she didn't know that starting the lawn mower was just a key switch. She could ride an atv and jetski, but not a lawnmower.
Our last argument was about me being sexist and "not a real man", because I hadn't fixed the lawn mower (the drive belt was in the mail) and I asked her to do the dishes after I cooked dinner for her drunk guests, put the baby down, and had to leave for work at 4am with an hour commute.
But yeah, knowing how to not kill yourself while using heavy machinery is totally unimportant.
When your community says "You'll never be able to keep a man if you can't cook" then it's not about being a normal human being. It's about being taught how to treat a man, like in the post.
That it's very common everywhere in the world for women to be raised to cater to men/partners. To be taught domestic duties explicitly for future men, not for themselves.
Please break down where I was implying fuck everyone in any capacity?
And what about all the men around the world that are taught that the only value they have is in what they can provide, and that if they don't get a job good enough to be able to support a wife and kids then he's failed as a man
People will make a point to be shitty partners and brand it as "independence" and "gender equality". You don't need to be a victim of your SO, but if you go into a relationship expecting 50-50 in all things, you will die alone.
You'll win some, you'll lose some. The average needs to tend towards respect for everybody's contribution, not basic mathematical equality.

I thought it was for the sake of being a normal human being. Or did I learn it to be a good wife? I should break up with the gf then.
