It's sad that men (not all, but most I encountered especially from my own people and other cultures) always take women for granted. They believe that men are superior than women and failed to realize it's 2019 now, not 1950.
Come on guys! Your mother/wife/sister/daughter is not your slave or servant regardless they're working/not or grad student with PhD/only completed basic education.
What is so wrong with men helping each other in the same house, share the responsibilities rather than them women doing all the work for you? (cleaning, taking care children, job at the office, cooking, laundry, etc)
Do you pay them extra for that? Some husband/men even asked these women their hard earned money to spend on it.
To make it simple, imagine you have a job and earn your own money, financially independent does not rely on anyone , highly educated and live with your parents/own family. And the rest of family members are doing the same like you do, except that once you got home you need to do all the house chores.
REASON: because you're a WOMAN. Regardless you're working/jobless, too sick or tired, broke or financially supports house expenses , people will always expect you to do all the house chores. Failed to do so, you're a mother/daughter/sister/wife from Hell and not worthy as a woman.
REASON 2: because if you're a MAN, it's always okay not to do housework at all or taking care the house. Even if you're jobless/earn own money, busy playing computer games/watching tv/doing nothing at home, on your off day/just get home from work. No one will ask you to cook or clean the house. Or look down on you if you refused when asked to do so. Oh, even your dearly father/mother will ask your sister or wife to do all the housework and remind them to cook to feed you (again refer reason 1). Your reputation and ego as a man like an eagle soaring in the sky. As usual your mother/wife/daughter/sister continues doing 'their job' while crying inside.
See how some fucked up cultures and parents educate their son or men with this kind of mentality? SMH. Truly unfair.
Come on, guys. We're human too. And you're not the only one tired in that house.
One dimensional mentalities cant comprehend this though, like divyanshu for example. Common sense or wisdom is not everyones cup of tea. Its easier to be a slob sometimes but their karma will surely reach them one day
House work is not regualated, there are no policies, no supervision like in other "normal" works... So it can be taken seriously and in this case is hard work or can be taken very lightly and in this case is a joke
Well said, this is being happening to me too.. it's like crying inside.. why only me(women).. oh my god there must come some regulations from government too.. when does this problem end up.
@divyanshu pandey we never said it's shame doing that but the thing is then men should also do that.
And who says men perform other things better, there are many men that are good chef, that earn by cooking good food, isn't cooking a housework!!
But then also there are more male chef than female chef even though almost all women cook food at home.
It's just that men don't try it, to do housework, to know whether they're good at it or not, they just think earning money is my responsibility and doing housework is her.
But why??? Some women can be good at earning money but not in doing housework, and some men can be good at doing housework than earning money but no they just presume that they are not good in housework and thus they shouldn't do it and leave all the work on the women to do.
Even though if a women earns money by working outside, she still has to take care of home like it's their responsibility!
@divyanshu pandey God..... You are really sick... How someone treat woman like that?... Really disturbing thoughts
Why do men think they need all night if they work 8 hours minus 2 15min breaks, 30min lunch from 8 hours=7hrs, to recover? Even if the woman works full time or part time, she's still expected to put everything before herself & do her "jobs" such as housework, childcare, cooking, laundry, Drs appts, errands etc. Why is it acceptable for a man to lounge around all weekend while a woman who may be off from work as well runs around to get things done?
Can u check ffact properly
“Why has woman's work never been of any account? Why in every family are the mother and three or four servants obliged to spend so much time at what pertains to cooking? Because those who want to emancipate mankind have not included woman in their dream of emancipation, and consider it beneath their superior masculine dignity to think "of those kitchen arrangements," which they have put on the shoulders of that drudge-woman.”
― Pyotr Kropotkin, The Conquest of Bread
Woman work is of great account... When it is done !
Work at home when taken seriously is indeed real work... The question is who has the authority to check and say if the work has been taken seriously and is done?
I love how you changed the opening graphics! Took me way back in time!
Why do we think bread winning is a mans job?
Huh I'm lost
@divyanshu pandey no its not.
@divyanshu pandey its really stupid to think this way...
An even better question is why do we think paying for a date is a man’s job?
@@liberallooney6830 i dont know whether you are indian ..but in india we women too pay for date ..
Don't clean in front of you man, never.
I have been married for 46 years. Have 11 children and a good husband who worked 6 days a week and sometimes 10 hours a day. Damn right I think housework is women's work. My work, which was harder than my husband's work was to care for my children and make my home a place of peace ( not always possible) and refuge for my family. I guess today a lot of women want the roles to be reversed. I guess we will have to wait and see what that will produce.
Different if u dpnt have a full time job. When u work just as hard as him to supoort the family it need to share everything. Geezzzz...
Man literally does everything soo he can provide your ass with everything u need.
11 children congratulations!... Many woman (not all... But many) today can't handle 2 children!... They just refuse the role EVEN if they actually do not have a career or even a job...
@divyanshu pandey I dont think u r big enough to understand the concept of equality tho.... SHAME
@@Sasika_thejunglefairy no, even when you have a job, then also you have to do housework as well because that's how people see women as, that housework is their responsibility, it doesn't matter if they do a job or not.
And also without a job, she still do more housework than her husband, just think of it taking care of 11 children plus all the other housework like cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.
They act like men don’t do house work who empty’s the trash who mows the lawn and lift and fix shit in homes that break all the time
I'm a girl and I am capable of also doing those things - I've also had to teach my husband to mow the lawn and still had to go back to the spots he missed so I rather just do that myself its faster .. men can still wash the dishes , cook and do the laundry..
This is my ex-husband's argument.
The math doesn't work:
Mowing lawn - 1.5 hours weekly
Take out trash - 3 minutes weekly
Fix shit - average 1 hour monthly
Now, let's see:
Make the kids lunches for school - 30 mins daily
Cook supper - 1 hour daily
After supper dishes - 45 mins daily
Drive kids for extracurriculars - 1 hour weekly
Household laundry - 2 hours twice weekly
Daily tidying - 1 hour daily
Vacuuming - 1 hour weekly
Dusting - 45 mins weekly
Baseboards - 2 hours biweekly
Bathroom - 1 hour each, weekly
Mopping/hard floors - 30 mins twice weekly
Walk the dogs - 30 mins twice daily
Oh.. and I work full time - on commission with lots of overtime. I am the bread winner.
Now tell me how the f#@k that because I lack a penis, that I should have to do the women's work, and he should be good with taking out the trash and mowing the lawn.
@@Dorythefish13 little house work and no house work is two different things we humans have the incredible ability to ask, just ask the dude to do more doesn't sound hard Jessica
