"Men are all pigs"

[LadyForCamus]

I wholeheartedly agree. Shaming women for being housewives, shaming men for making women happy, these subtle misogynistic people go unnoticed far too often.  

Who the fuck has ever shamed a woman for being a housewife in this thread or on this forum?

As for the other part, I don't want to speak for all women but I don't need anyone man or woman to make me happy, true happiness comes from within. I would never shame a man for going out of his way to try to make a woman happy so long as he's actually doing it for her. A neat thing you can do is get to know someone and actually ask them what they want. I know I sure as fuck don't want to be a housewife. It's not even because I don't like housewife duties; I love cooking and cleaning. I probably love cleaning a little too much, but that's getting off track. I just don't want to be a housewife because my work makes me feel validated as a person. Staying at home being treated like a princess by a guy who thinks I watch tv all day and the baseboards scrub themselves. Yuck. Thinking most women want that is naive to a ridiculous degree. Thinking even most women in India want that is ridiculous. Children shouldn't be raised to believe that any specific traits will define their value as adults. They should be raised to believe that working hard at whatever makes them happy defines their value, they define their own value. In India little girls are raised to believe their value is dependent on being a good housewife. It's not to say people specifically tell them that and I think that's why you're confused. It's that children learn so so much more than just what people tell them. They're a lot smarter than people give them credit for and they are paying attention. They always are.

Yeah, I mean, it feels like Pool has all these preconceived notions about what women think and feel, but this is EXACTLY what he hates about male stereotypes.
