“If we empower women to work outside the house without expecting men to work inside the house, then we aren't empowering women. We're exploiting them?

Question

I, 100%, agree with this statement. Do you agree with this? If not, why?

LazerBean · Accepted Answer

I'm not sure that I agree with that. I'm taking this statement to be talking about cases where women are going out and working as many hours as their husband, then coming home and doing all the housework, cooking, childcare, and cleaning while the husband watches TV or whatever. That arrangement does seem to be the norm these days, and that arrangement definitely does suck for the woman and even the kids for that matter. But the thing is, women don't have to marry that man. No body forced them. So yeah maybe on some level that is exploitation, but I can't really bring myself to call it that. In my mind it's just one of many natural consequences of entangling yourself with the wrong kind of person. That's just my thought process on this, and I may even be way off from what this statement actually is talking about.

Yes. We need to communicate how important it is for men to make proper efforts inside the home. Not just “helping” either. And ladies need to speak up instead of trying to do it all. You’re not going to recognized for it.

For the most part, women working outside the home is for more taxes, and to diminish the family unit so the government can control people more easily, that is why often the government encourages divorce and child support so they can get fees from it. That is the case, even in some of the supposed conservative family oriented states like Texas.

And often, even when women do work outside the home, whether they make the same, more or less than the man, the women often still don't contribute as much financially to the family because they want the money they earn to be theirs and the husband's money to be for the family. (Bills, medical, transportation, etc.)

When you have a partner, you 2 should be discussing eachothers responsibilities. A relationship isn't always 50 50, because there's days where one partt can't give 50% where the other partner should be willing to cover, and some days the other partner may only have 20% to give and they need to be covered. A relationship is all about compromises to make it work and its never split 50 50 down the middle at all times.

The problem is that even the successful career women who earn enough to support a family on their income alone do not want a stay-at-home husband. The globohomo elites have used feminism to destroy the family just so they could get cheaper labor by adding all these women to the workforce who didn't need to be there and who served to drive down the price of labor by increasing the supply. The reason skilled trades like plumbers and electricians still pay well is because women don't want to work these jobs. Fuck feminism!

Not sure what your point is. Women have been working since ancient times. Ots only upper class wealthy women who never worked and for a brief time 1950s middle class wives.

Housework is no real big deal, with proper organisation it's about 4 hours per day maybe even less.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Absolutely not. If you're FORCING them to work outside the home to the same extent that men are, then expecting the same level of domestic performance as one who isn't, then yes, it would be exploitation- or at least a double standard- but I've never seen anything close to that. To either of those, in fact.

But giving people options doesn't make them weaker.

Women can work outside the house. They don't need to be empowered. In Western countries they get the same education opportunities as men and largely will be favoured particularly because of KPIs for workplace promotions. We don't exploit women, we exploit people in general – that is how employment works.

Men should always be working inside the house as well. It's their house and kids so they should keep up with it to regardless of if the woman is working or not

LadyKitty · Answer

Women work in or outside the house should be a choice just as the same for Men. I think if you encourage one and not the other its just double standards not necessarily exploitation.

sawno · Answer

I agree it needs to be balanced, I prefer a partner that just wants to work in the house though.

wiltingrosepetal · Answer

Yep. Expecting the woman to be the breadwinner and the housewife is depressing. Praying I never have to end up in that arrangement

laraWM · Answer

Yes, men should obvioulsy work more inside the house and take part in household tasks way more than they do today

Anonymous · Answer

No, not realy. "Empowering" is the wrong word here. Women have chosen to work. Men didn't ask them to. Women decided they wanted to take on men's role and expected men would just go along with it and take on women's role too. That doesn't mean men have to.

Isn't that a double standard 🤔 tbh it should be equal share unless if you have a disability of any kind

Minahh · Answer
