I like traditional roles. Even if he’s not providing 100% and I’m not housewife 100% still I would prefer to do the more “womanly” chores like cooking and cleaning and he can take the trash out and mow the lawn and stuff. Some folks won’t see it as 50/50 but if it makes us happy who cares what other ppl think
Also, things aren’t completely “separated” as you say they were. Men’s testosterone drops a couple weeks before the baby is due. That happens so that the estrogen in his body can allow him to become more nurturing. Ensure, the testosterone level of women can raise, but usually we are meant to be capable for certain things
this is how my mom’s relationship with her 2nd husband is and it grinds my gears. she is almost 100% traditional and submits, believes “the man is the head and the woman is the neck”. he claims being like progressive and a girl dad but happily enjoys the benefits of a trad wife while not being a trad man. he does outearn her so i acknowledge that she benefits in that way but she works more hours than him and does “masculine duties” like yard work and ki||ing bugs 😭
It’s really not even “tradition” so don’t forget “protect”. Generally in nature species that aren’t absurdly nomadic or cannibalistic: Males: Protect and Provide for the group family unit moving around alive/breathing + expand territory Females: Protect/Provide for the eggs/babies & cultivate the inner social structure of the family unit/tribe/heard etc
I understand that. If I made enough money to provide for everything, personally it would be badass to have a stay at home wife who would be a stay at home mom to take care of the kids and homeschool etc. As it stands I don’t make enough money in this economy to do that, so we would both have to make enough money and in turn would take care of the household responsibilities equally. That would be ideal for me
i think it depends on the cost of living in the area, and how many people you have to provide for. I also think what OP is saying is contradicting to expect a traditional relationship when you yourself aren't upholding those values. Even though it isn't your fault the economy sucks and most households can't survive on a single income.
I still disagree, as the workload that each person in a relationship can bear is not going to be symmetric, honestly i really think as long as both people feel comfortable with their workload and don't feel used/overworked, even if either husband or wife ends up doing slightly more work (however you quantify such a broad thing as "work") than their partner. quantitatively analyzing workload is only going to create undue conflict if things are already working smoothly.
I just think it’s so silly to be like “caveman evolved to do this” whilst you sit in your air conditioned and heated home, eating food you got from the grocery store and cooked on the stove, using your iPhone to browse social media, wearing clothes you got from a department store ect. Like what does caveman have to do with modern man
this primal "lizard brain" part of us (men and women) is why many guys' iq drops by ~30 points in the presence of hot women, it's the reason women get and can't control the "ick", it's why women are higher in neuroticism (the theory is because women more prone to stress, they are extra attentive to the needs of infants and children because both are REALLY annoying when they need something) and men are less neurotic (stress resistance is good when you need to fight), etc etc. You get the idea
What do cavemen have to do w modern men??? Literally everything lol😭you wouldn’t take a wild wolf and stick it in “your air conditioned and heated home, eating food you got from the grocery store” NO it would still maul you it’s not a dog😭😭just bc we have ac and internet now that’s like .00002% of human history 😭😭you have zero grasp of evolution if you think our brains would’ve caught up to modern society by now
women have testosterone too gang, and OP clearly is saying how it's not feasible to expect a traditional relationship anymore bc there is no reason why a women can't help provide for their family or a man take care of their young. just bc things were separated 1000s of years ago, doesn't mean we should still adhere to that.
idk abt you but i do not have any naturally mothery instincts, i literally cringe at the sight of children. no desire to attend to the needs of infants. that cave women gene must've skipped me ig. also women get the ick bc there r men like the ones in the comments section constantly making generalizations abt how our brain chemistry is and using it to justify gender roles we don't want to adhere to.
Consider how much of both men’s and women’s biochemistry has been altered by this synthetic domestication: gmo diets (nobody evolved to digest corn syrup, especially the non-wild GMO corn), lack of exercise, pharmaceuticals, birth control, etc etc etc. This is the first time in history where more people in the west work indoors rather than outdoors with the sun shining and wind on their skin. The first time we don’t see lit fires often (allegedly has something to do with stem cell release)
If we were metaphorical wolves, most humans would be chihuahuas right now. OP has a point, the men who desire women to “take care of the estate/metaphorical nest” should be willing to protect and provide for that estate. Or at bare minimum, show they are on a path to being capable of doing so.
There’s an interesting study about the folic acid that makes flour “enriched” that appears to be directly correlated to the severe menopausal symptoms we didn’t see historically. It’s specific to certain blood types/genomes if I am recalling correctly, but it’s also linked to several other hormonal disorders. Doing personal studies on these things I’ve deduced if most women found just how much they were poisoned by corporate interests; mind body and spirit, they would demand executions.
They’ve done studies. Doesn’t matter if you think you have “naturally motherly instincts”, your lizard brain does. Female brain activity is interrupted by the cry of a baby and a males is not as much. They can continue on sleeping/ doing what they’re doing, but women’s brains are biologically programmed to respond to the baby. And if you’re lactating it doesn’t even matter if it’s your baby crying, your nipples will literally start leaking milk at the sound of a baby’s cry.
Everything in your physical body is science and biology. Unless of course you’re speaking about the ether and divine and I’m actually speaking to a demon. In which case, that’s a science I’m versed in as well and you shall state your true name here in this comment thread. Is it Legion? Cuz if it’s Legion I was wondering when you would be back.
like if you truly believe straight sex is the only way for men and women to be satisfied then it's not me who has an warped perception of sex, plus queer sex has existed for centuries and even within in nature and animals. so even ur science and biology doesn't really help that case.
It exists when there’s an excess of calories and in general as a means to spread intestinal worms. Parasites ALTERing the reproductive behavior of the host to replicate the parasite rather than the host, thus slowly killing the host. Which is why in all major ancient religions, they called those people demonically possessed. There are no known cases of lesbian animals recorded to which I have been made aware.
There’s also many species that display necrophelia and pedophilia. None of the above mentioned behaviors, especially repeated enough in any species yields a survivable pack. They all yield an extinct population, especially if prioritized above behaviors that supplement the pack/heard/colony etc.
No because menopause is actually natural. It’s a part of the aging process of women. People keep talking about homosexual tendencies and animals and there have been quite a few studies done that only show the animals have homosexual tendencies when there is the lack of the opposite sex in the population.
so this is just wrong 😭, it's common in over 1500 species both with male and female same sex relationships. in fact some even take on multiple partners at once, like dolphins for example. they literally have sex for fun like humans do. https://www.bluesci.co.uk/posts/feature-homosexuality-in-the-animal-kingdom#:~:text=Examples%20have%20been%20described%20in,in%20same%2Dsex%20sexual%20interactions.
Just because something occurs in nature does not make it “good”. All animals die of either being eaten, exposure to elements, killed for sport, disease/parasites and/or starvation. If you repeat their patterns expecting a result that is civil rather than wild, you are expecting a unique mathematical outcome rather than something we observe to be a constant with wild behavior.
No biologically there’s nothing that separates us from the rest of anamalia, to say “oh but humans have the most developed brains” is like saying “oh platapuses are the only mammal that lates egg” different species have their own unique traits. Furthermore there are animals that have significantly more life span than we do and there are animals with brains that are just as advanced as ours like dolphins. To say humans are distinct from other animals doesn’t mean anything, every species is
So you can bring up our "cave brains" and science and biology when it suits your agenda but when I do it to prove the gay sex naturally occurring (never once said it was good or bad) it's all of a sudden irrelevant? Yeah, frankly i don't really care what you believe is good or natural. All i know is, it's stupid to argue with someone about their sexual orientation. I stated multiple times me & my gf are perfectly happy, and it's frankly sad that is such a hard concept for you to grasp
Life isn’t only about being happy. Don’t get me wrong, life is tasteless without happiness, but a society that aims to survive will discuss the best methods of doing it. You have free will and can do as you wish, but the people attempting to insure that society survives multiple generations will likely recommend against behaviors that leave you childless and at the highest risk of domestic violence if continued.
So fun fact, plenty of same sex couples can do have children. Also having children isn't a requirement for any couple. Queer or not, and it doesn't make them morally inferior if they choose not to contribute to society in that way. Children are expensive, overpopulation and overuse of natural resources is a serious issue, and there are plenty of children who are alive now that don't have the advantages of being in a loving and safe household.
i also believe that if you don't prioritize your own happiness then life isn't worth living. it's not your burden to ensure that society survived multiple generations, and if that is the only reason why you view queer relationships as wrong, then i truly pitty you bc you cleary do believe in love.
yeah i should really it alone at this point but i also love educating bigots so. queer relationships ≠ seeking pleasure. i said me and my gf were happy together, as another way to say we love each other, and i know that might be a hard concept for you to grasp. Believe or not though, queer people can also have meaningful lives while still being queer :)
