That's not nearly as hard and is way more rewarding. And besides, she can avoid all of that by not having kids, whereas a man has no choice.

Most men can't get fulfilling work either. Women usually do because they get to work for fun and nothing else. But men have to pay the bills, not self-actualize.

Why?

yeah we're talking about traditional society which we need to go back to. Obviously can't allow women to just do whatever like right now. Men and women both were happier in years past.

My first point still stands. And no we shouldn't go back to that because it sucks for all but one specific type of person. The real reason people were happier in the 50s is probably because there was an economic boom and most people could afford to take life easy and not get too stressed. Now we have ever-increasing demands which even kindergateners are feeling the weight of. These days there's no time for fun or relaxation or even mental health.

no it was great for all except maybe our rulers

same reason it was an economic boom, we need to keep women out of the workforce, it's supply and demand with labor, keep them out and men's wages are doubled

that solves your other problem about not enough time too

What we need to do is stop burdening men with all of it. Women should have to do their part too, we act like they deserve to just be lazy and pampered all the time because they're girls. They should both work part-time. Women are more talented at pretty much every kind of non-physical work anyway, and yet we still expect men to do all of it. And even at work women are given an easier time and not burdened as much. I don't f**king care how many people have a fetish for being Ken & Barbie, that's for your bedroom, life is more important than that.

And no, removing women would only burden men even more because there'd be less people to do the work.

men and women are different. women are weaker, mentally and physically. They can't work at the same jobs as men, sorry if it seems unfair but it is just reality. Why fight it. Raising children is hard work, why deny that?

Women are only weaker physically. We use this to say they're mentally weaker as an excuse to pamper and spoil them and not hold them to any expectations. In fact women are much stronger mentally and that's the thing I'm most envious of.

no they are different mentally, they do have some advantages over men mentally tho such as taking care of children comes more naturally to them

[–]VulptexVoluntaryist 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (28 children)

They have almost every advantage over men mentally. Male brains are hyper-specialized for spatial awareness, sex, and fighting. Female brains do everything else because they are just normal. I really hate having the male one because it means I can't pursue my dreams, and even if they came true my ability to enjoy it is nerfed.

nah

why can't you pursue your dreams? What are your dreams you're talking about here? Good job, wife, kids, family?
