"Nobody has said to our young women who are getting married: you are entering an institution with rules that are as strict as the rules of the seminary or the rules of of the church or the rules of the military"

"the institution of marriage was not designed for women it was designed for the well-being of men and children and the person who was to oversee the well-being of men and children was the wife. There isn't a character in marriage whose job it is to make sure that wives are getting their hot lunch you know, there isn't that caring so we all say I wish I had a wife"

    Yes, and if the couple needs help getting those tasks done, it's socially acceptable to pay to have typically "male" jobs done (basic car repairs, basic plumbing, lawn care, etc.) but it's looked down upon for a woman to pay for someone to help with typically "female" jobs (housekeeping, in-home childcare, cooking, etc.).

    And even if it wasn't, has anyone noticed the typically "female" jobs are DAILY, never-ending work, whereas typically "male" jobs are once a month tasks, or once a week at best?
