Search Results: sharing food

Now before you go off on how they're all batsh*t crazy, here me out.

I identify as a feminist, but I suppose I'm more of an equalist. I don't believe in female dominance or anything. I truly believe the genders should be equal.

For example, if Jane and Jack grow up in the same town, attend the same school, then attend the same university, each get the same degree, are both hired by the same company to do the exact same job, at the exact same time, I think Jane and Jack should be paid the exact same salary. However, that's not so in many cases, and that is why I identify the way I do.

Additionally, I believe in sharing household chores and working. If he's hungry or if he thinks the house is dirty, he is more than able to cook/clean himself.

That's not to say that I refuse to do household chores or anything. If I am hungry, I am more than willing to make the food. And if I think the house is dirty, I am more than able and willing to clean it myself.

I don't ever play the "girl" card to get out of doing something. I don't think all men are pigs and out to oppress me or anything. I think the radical feminists are crazy and just down right wrong.

I don't deny feminism (make up/dresses) but I don't dress girlie all the time (I'm usually in jeans and a nicer t-shirt) but when I do dress up, I do my best to look as girlie as possible,

The only reason I would be considered feminist is because I support equal pay for the genders (if they do the EXACT same job) and that guys can do household chores too.

I don't believe in lowering standards for women in police forces/fire squads or military. I think that having a lower standard makes it dangerous for victims who need help. I know I can't carry a body out of a burning building, and I know I sure as hell don't want to be dragged out. I'd want to be carried safely.

I fully accept that there would be fewer females in those types of jobs if the standards were the same for both sexes, but at least the females who could do the job would be able to do it safely and correctly.

You can probably guess, but I can shoot my gender in the foot, as it were. I see flaws with the extreme feminists way of thinking. If they truly want equality, they need to get in the game too and make sacrifices to move to middle ground too.

So...would you date a girl with these views?

I was thinking about my childhood and what it would've been like had I not had two parents, always there. I didn't have a great childhood, but I always had food in my stomach, clothes on my back, someone to call in an emergency, etc.

Did you grow up without a mother or a father?

How has that affected you, past and present?

Do you think it would've been a better or worse childhood if that absent parent had been there for you and your family?

Thanks for sharing :-)

So I'm 17. Single mom did drugs until I was 13 when she was told that if she kept going she would die by the doctors. So she wasn't there for me and my sister when she was on drugs and she really isn't here now. She works from one - 10 so I barely see her since I'm still in high school. She is selfish. Examples: she says she doesn't have any money to get me private lessons which I got a super deal for just $10 an hour for viola lessons. They are usually 80 and up. But she goes shopping for herself at macys whenever she feels like it.

Another thing, she is with a man that used to hit her way back when they were together before I was born. I don't like him. She says he's changed. Anyway, I've been super hungry today because there is absolutely no breakfast food in the house. She doesn't like when we eat dinner food for breakfast. He little boyfriend called and she went out to buy breakfast food that she cooked. She gave me the burnt toast By the way. -_-

Anyway, I'm not happy, its really hard for me to be but my counselor suggested trying to forgive her for everything. How do you forgive someone who just keeps f***in up? When I try to spend time with her, she makes other plans or invites her friends... Wtf? Should I just stop trying?im not affectionate and I don't like sharing my emotions but I'm trying to let her know how I feel. She says we try to make her feel guilty whenever I try to talk to her. Another year and I will be out of here and headed to college. So, thoughts?
