Why do so many men still expect women to ‘do it all’ today?

Question

Why do men want a woman to work, clean, and take care of children all at the same time? While women nowadays do all this, what do men do? They just go to work. This is a huge injustice.

HarveyLaw · Answer

I suspect you haven't met or known many men who actually are up to fairly sharing house chores and responsibilities. If only the man works outside the home, it is natural for the woman to do more around the house than him — but this doesn't mean he should be a 'guest' in his own home, because the whole family (including kids) must do their part regarding housekeeping and all.

If the man is not willing to do anything, using the 'I work so hard all day' argument, he is probably either having some health issue or being purely lazy.

Ungrateful. We have made housework so much easier for you. Once upon a time women did slave over hot stove but we have made nice cool electric ones for you.

Washing use to be a heavy of heating up a copper and hanging up heavy wet clothes to dry. Now you have hot water at a tap, clothes washers that just shove items into and press on. Clothes dryers that you just press the on switch. The only labor is taking clothes out of the washer and putting into the dryer.

Vacuum cleaners and even floor robots for cleaning.

Plus airblowers for dusting.

Highly ungrateful for all the stuff we have done for you. Left to your selves you'd still be going down to the river to wash clothes.

I think growing up they always had somebody do it for them or something My Philosophy is if you see something that needs to be done and you're right there then do it so I do that quite often because I always see something to do I don't know about other guys but if you allow them to get away with it over and over and over then that's what they're going to keep doing

Because a lot of them want to do the bare minimum while thinking they're doing everything, and assume everything else is done in an hour. That's why they keep pushing for us to be stay at home wives and moms. Why they keep pushing laws to take away our rights and freedoms.

Men have gotten lazy I guess, but there ARE women who actually WANT to be housewives or work, but usually not both. But also, if the man is working, naturally the woman should take care of the house

Miristheiss · Answer

I expect women to be virtuous and be wifes and mothers. Anyone with piercings, tattoos, prioritizes jobs at age 20-23 instead of family is useless and only idiot men take them seriously.

Well... what else do you think "girl boss" is about?  You want to be seen as a "hero" and "better" than men, but don't want the consequences.
