Have you seen the work men do in poor countries?
Do you really expect women to be doing this work and the man stays at home doing house work?
I do see women carrying huge bags of concrete, masonry, pulling carts along occasionally.
And I find it heart breaking. It's body ruining as a man, for women to be doing it is an even lower level of poverty that they are at.
There is a lot of 'let them eat cake' going on here.
- YeGoblynQueenne 10y agoNo, I think what's going on here is "let them use washing machines". Like- Problem: women are treated as domestic slaves. Solution: get them domestic appliances. Well that's just ridiculous.
- frostymarvelous 10y agoExactly the same argument I advanced to @YeGoblynQueenne. Where there's no option, you have to split the roles. And where you split the roles, you can't make one party burdened unnecessarily.
