I know a LOT of guys who are attached/married/living with someone who do housework.
He could do those things, but shouldn’t have to since they’re women’s work. And any woman who asks a man to do anything having to do with women’s work is a radical feminist and personally responsible for the downfall of society. /sarcasm

MOTHER Nature decided no such thing. If she had, women wouldn’t have intelligence past what’s needed to cook and clean. Since that’s not the case, your claim is false. You may want it to work that way, but nature didn’t set it up that way.

I could make a very long of things almost as long as life, from changing a flat tire on the high way to storming a building with an active shooter, of things we should insist women have to do because we can't have men's and women's work. And that would be the downfall of society.

Anyone who drives ought to be able to change a tire. And any police officer, male or female should follow the training received and their department's protocol for active shooters. Please show me an example where the protocol differs based on sex?

If a woman wants to do those things, she should. Just like a man should if it’s what he chooses.

I can change a flat tire and have a few times. It’s not exactly rocket science. Women are cops and SWAT team members and FBI agents. So no, those aren’t men’s work any longer just like nursing and teaching are no longer strictly women’s work.

See that's the problem with society. No one knows their place in the world anymore. Women don't and can't fix flat tires or effectively face down rampaging suspect in general. If we replaced all our cops or even half with women that would be a problem. There's things women are better at than men, but feminist seek to eject all of those.

Well, you seem to embrace that both of you aren’t necessarily only allowed to fit within certain gender roles. Congrats! You’re feminists. No, seriously. Too many picture an angry third wave over the top feminist, when most feminists are everyday people overall.

Only things you’ve mentioned that women are better at is cooking, cleaning, childcare and making a house pretty. So in your view if a woman is doing anything but those things, she doesn’t know her place and should be firmly put back in it by a man. What a load of crap.

What are you talking about? Anyone who drives - male or female - should be able to change a flat. It's basic maintenance and safety. Nothing to do with "knowing their place". If you accept a responsibility (ie driving or policing) you are expected to do those things that go hand in hand with that responsibility.

Why are you even mentioning replacing all cops with women? Has that been proposed? Please share a cite. I'll wait - along with the other cites we're waiting on.
