I actually think it can be more feminist to expect men to do man things than for women to do it. Like yeah sure I can do it but why would I inconvenience myself just to prove to a man that I can do it when I could just tell the man to do it and he will?

because that promotes the gender roles put unto everyone by the patriarchy and is exactly what they did before second wave feminism came into the forefront?

It doesn't "promote" gender roles, you can do whatever you want. I just personally don't want to do anything that requires manual labor so I'm not going to lol. And it's not "exactly what they did before" because I have a high paying job in a male dominated field and I'm a whore lmao I'm not just some uneducated child bride with no bank account and 7 babies. Feminism isn't wasting your time doing things you don't want and don't have to do when there's men eagerly waiting to be useful

jesus christ man none of that makes what you’re doing “more feminist”. you don’t have to moralize anything that you want to do just because you want to do it. it’s fine. no one cares. but don’t act like you’re a better person for doing that because you’re not.

I'm not moralizing anything lmao I never said I was a better bc I don't wanna build furniture. It's not feminist for women to waste their time doing shit they don't have to do just for sake of "not reinforcing gender roles" given that I'm literally typing this response my corporate job lmao there are no gender roles! My time is just as valuable as a man's lmao I am telling a man to hang my curtains bc I don't wanna fucking do it but he does! Feminism isn't an inefficient allocation of labor

It's a misunderstanding of what feminism is to take "She Can Do It!" so literally lol like yeah I can do it but that doesn't mean I have to. I'm not mowing a lawn nor am I playing Hattie Homemaker lol

no one’s saying you have to do shit but it’s not “more feminist” to expect men to do things for women, which is what you originally said.

I said, and I quote, "I actually think it CAN be more feminist to expect men to do man things than for women to do it"
