I can't and won't fix my own flat tires? Maybe you care to tell me how I have managed to do so several times all by myself?

Me too. He acts like it’s akin to brain surgery.

There's any list of things that a woman might be good at, but selectively demanding equality and selectively wanting equal or better outcomes, and wanting to be in charge of everything is the problem.

Most women do not have enough physical strength to do it even if they have the know-how. Or they're too risk adverse to do it on the side of a road, so a man is called out. The fact I have to explain this just proves the point of how clueless and dishonest feminists are.

Yeah, I dealt with a character who tried to pull that angle on me. Lying, cheating POS. I wish I could have been a witness when his shackup threw him out of her house after finding out he had been cheating on her with multiple women (including me) for 9 years. Worst day for him was when I finally realized that he was full of it, and these "controlling" types are all the same. The idea of being found out scared the crap out him, and I made full use of that by exposing him.

I'd rather be single the rest of my life than take another gamble like that. The guys who beat their chests the hardest about being in charge are the same ones who have no business being in that position.

Please enlighten us with the list of things women might be good at. You’ve only mentioned things centered on traditional housewife tasks.

I agree with every word. Though until such time the 3rd wave starts to either totally drop or widly circulate female equilivants of words like rape culture, toxic masculinity, or mansplanning, i will never consider myself to be a feminist.

Tell the guys who rotate my tires not to tighten the lug nuts with power wrenches and I would be able to change my own tire. Not like I get much chance to, my last flat was 3 years ago.

Few women are the radical feminists you describe. Few belong to a women’s organization like NOW or have ever marched for women’s rights. I know I never had. All I want is want the same rights as those accorded to men. If I’m the best candidate for a job, my gender shouldn’t matter. If a man is the best candidate his shouldn’t either. I don’t expect to get a job for which I’m not qualified based on my gender either. Neither should a man.

I definitely don’t want to be expected to conform to traditional gender roles unless that’s what I want to do. I do expect my spouse to afford me the same respect I give to him. Pretty basic stuff. Nothing radical about any of this.

I did not and am not going to make any list. You act as if there's something wrong with being a traditional housewife. My problem with feminism is the creation of ad hoc laws to prop up their goals that violate equal protection, and trying to usurp men's positions and place in society.

There’s nothing wrong with it if that’s what a woman chooses. If anyone forces her into that position or if it’s the only choice she has, then that’s an issue.

Men’s positions and place in society being one where they hold all leadership positions both in public and private? No thanks.
