Traditional Male-Female Roles

Re: Traditional Male-Female Roles

Diwana, women cook and clean well because it's expected of them and so they were trained to do it since they were kids, and as they tend to be more mindless jobs and routine, it's easy to get good at them if you've been practicing at them since you were 8.

If your mom pinned an apron on you and had you practicing recipes since you were 8, you'd be a fantastic cook too.

Let's not make excuses for men anymore. There's no reason why they shouldn't be helping out around the house.

FYI, I just learned how to cook daal ka salan and frikkin ras malai today.

I watch the recipe once, and I pretty much know it, and the more you cook with spices the more you can make up your own recipes as you go.

If you boys ever actually stepped foot in a kitchen and tried your hand at cooking, you'd see how easy it is. Nothing a bunch of numbskulls cannot accomplish.

Correction, he invented sex, and for there to be the conduction of sex, you need two partners to tango. That's it. We get to have sex. Well, the more fortunate ones. People like me are meant to be celibate for the rest of our lives because people like me keep falling in love with Jewish doctors.

God, you seem desperate. You really need to get laid!

I know what you are saying. I was referring more to the natural instincts of men and women.
These instincts are very well known and accepted throughout the world. Some people try to deny.

Oh yeah! I can cook many dish like women can do. Sometimes bettter. Except the chapatis. My chapatis are like the maps of diferent countries. Sometimes Siri Lanka, somelimes Italy.

Re: Traditional Male-Female Roles

if we realized that these so called roles are man-made, we wouldn't have such a hard time incorporating changes into them.

Re: Traditional Male-Female Roles

i believe these are natural roles as others pointed out..

and yes there are women who don't like doing these stuff........

solution

career women should try to marry those guys who like to stay home,cook,clean,take care of babies..

those who believe they can do household chores should marry guys responsible for making living.

Question to ladies..

Do working women believe that their husbands have same right over the money earned by the wife as much as wives have right over the husband's money?

Nomi, that'll happen when you guys decide to grow a womb and carry a baby for 9 months and then proceed to eject a 10 pounder out of your penis.

Then we'll let you have some of our salary earnings.

I am desperate. I am a funny, desperate, single muslim Pakistani city urban girl who is honest about her life. And that's what makes me me. I am content in this.

Question is...are you this cool?

Let's see. Judging by your closet-views you post here?

No.

Ok some of these answers are hilarious.

First of all, there ARE things that women do better than men, and men do better than women. As for the working woman etc, google "opt out revolution". Women, who are doctors and lawyers etc choosing to leave their careers and raise their kids. In most cases, there is no glass ceiling, in general women don't have the same drive to earn more as men do, just as men, IN GENERAL, are not as nurturing as women are. I would NEVER force a woman to quit her job but me personally, I feel like I would need to go out and "earn the bacon" so to speak. And if she's like minded, it wouldn't work.

I agree with what someone said, find a person who fits your personality. If you want the power career, then find someone who wouldn't mind taking a bit of a back seat. There isn't room in a relationship for two high powered careers.

As for the men defining roles, please you have got to be kidding me. Before, cars, police etc, the man protected the family. This wasn't invented, that's just how things are. Women are physically weaker, and our social tendencies evolved from that. If anything, our technologies have allowed women to go out into the workplace and our biological and social programming hasn't caught up yet. So don't go throwing men under the bus.

For women who like to claim that men are oppressing them, how many matriarchal societies do you know which were successful? Men have a natural tendency to dominate and lead. Even women want guys who are decisive, and can make her feel safe. That's just how things are.

There's actually a research article by an archeologist (or something) who said that societies are most successful when they have morals and family values, when the place restrictions (not oppression), just restrictions on themselves. More specifically on their women. He cited Rome and Babylon as examples where women were allowed to have NO FAULT divorces, and were sexually more promiscuous and both civilizations crumbled because, according to him, of a lack of family values and work ethic.

Now my point with all this is that there is something to be said about traditional family values, they exist because they work for a lot of people. I do think that it's important that people have choices; if a guy wants to stay at home then let him. If a woman want to work, let her.
