- hugh3 16y agoI was being serious. Old-fashioned women who are happy to marry a richer, more capable man and do household duties do still exist, but they're much rarer than they used to be. The fact that so many of you apparently thought the idea that your wife might cook for you is sexist kinda makes me wonder what the point of a modern marriage, from the point of view of a moderately-wealthy-to-rich man (who doesn't need his wife's income) would actually be. And don't just say "love", there has to be something else. The man brings love and money to the table, what does the woman bring?
- cousin_it 16y agoI just apply the label "sexist" in the meaning that its inventors intended :-) That doesn't mean I agree with them that sexist (or racist, or whatever) is always bad. I'm single and don't want to marry yet, but I can see why people can still want to marry even if it doesn't mean acquiring a provider or a cook. The top reason I can think of is companionship. If you live alone, by default you spend every evening alone unless you expend effort. This might be hard for most people. Heck, it's hard for me, but being free to do stuff is more important to me than staving away loneliness.
