So in English class today we talked about the essays that we all read as an assignment and we ended up having some very interesting topics come up.
We first read "I Want a Wife" by Judy Brady. That led us into the topic of male and female roles in a relationship/marriage. Apparently, back in the 70's or so, it was the woman's responsibility to be in charge of the birth control. Well you know what I say men? F%#! you. Go put a freaking condom on, because that is a hell of a lot easier than taking a pill at the same time every day. I mean seriously, why? She also talks about how women are the ones who bend to the desires of the man and do all the cleaning, planning of appointments, and cook. Raymond, you're going to have to help with all three of those because hell knows that I'm not doing all three alone. I hate vacuuming, you're going to have to help with the cooking and the dishes every now and then, and I forget just as much (if not more) than you do, so you have to help with schedule planning :3
Another thing that we went over in class was dating and who pays. Why is it that guys have to pay for the girls, and it's always the guys who take the girls out? It's never, "Oh, she's taking him out tonight", it's always "He's taking her to a movie" or something of that sort. All I ask is why?
Also, why is it that men propose to women? Not that I mind (hell, I LIKE it that way) but I'm asking what's wrong with girls proposing? And did you know that the wife's family is supposed to pay for the wedding? Do you know why? Because after she is given away by her father (again, men controlling women), she's to be taken care of by the husband for the rest of her life, or as long as he would want to keep her. Isn't that horrible? That the wife's family has to pay because she is being treated as a burden to her husband. Tsktsk. At least times have changed...
Or have they?
Still in relationships everywhere, women are still the ones who are expected to do cleaning and cooking and all those other household chores.
Lol I sound super feminist in this :P
