It's not that anything feminine is "bad", it's that women are often pressured into doing "feminine" things because reasons.
There's no reason "homemaker" should be inferior to "computer programmer", but there's also no reason that homemaker should be "feminine". Men are equally capable of taking care of the house, and women are equally capable of programming computers.
- hasenj 9y agoIt's not about being capable. Women get pregnant; men don't. Women have to nurse children (as in breast feed), men don't. When a woman it's pregnant or nursing, she needs support. That's the whole reason why there is such a thing as marriage. Because you can't raise children on your own.
- jakelazaroff 9y ago> Women get pregnant; men don't. Women have to nurse children (as in breast feed), men don't. When a woman it's pregnant or nursing, she needs support. Absolutely none of this is relevant to whether non-women or women "should" be homemakers. Women get pregnant but that doesn't mean they're in any way more suited to taking care of children than non-women. > Because you can't raise children on your own. Tell that to the literally millions of single parents who do a great job raising kids while millions of two parent households fail at it.
- hasenj 9y agoI find it hard to take seriously someone who uses phrases like "non-woman" non-ironically. > Tell that to the literally millions of single parents who do a great job raising kids while millions of two parent households fail at it. As far as I know, single parent households are largely dysfunctional and fail at producing responsible adults.

I find it hard to take seriously someone who thinks gender binary is a thing. > As far as I know, single parent households are largely dysfunctional and fail at producing responsible adults. Do more research then. That's absolutely false.

- jakelazaroff 9y agoThere are many ways to be neither a woman nor a man. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_variance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_variance
- loco5niner 9y agoThere are also many ways to be born missing limbs, but that fact doesn't normalize it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_amputation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_amputation
- jakelazaroff 9y agoThat's not relevant. Your original comment: > aka, men claimed that no genders or sexes other than "male" and "female" exist. But thanks for admitting you were wrong!

- loco5niner 9y agoI was raised by a single mom. I can can tell you emphatically, a two parent household would have been better.
