Hiya everyone π
So it’s time for another risky post. I know this might get me a lot of hate and I have accepted it but I do want to express my own thoughts and feelings to certain topics and this is one of them. I also want to say that I’m not judging anyone if they don’t think or feel the same way as I do. This post is only to express my thoughts and feelings.
Now when that’s said I guess we should jump right into the blog post.
From the beginning of our race men have been the leaders (yes I’m aware that all of the burning topics of today’s society start like that but in order to move on to the future we should accept and know the past), and even now men often are just better than women. Of course you can name a lot of successful women out there who are super awesome and way better than most of the men in today’s society but I’m talking about the general role of a man and a woman.
So from the beginning of time the roles of man and a woman have been the same. Men do the work, feed the family, earn the money, they also provide home and safety for the family. This leaves everything family related to the women. Women need to take care of the kids, cook the food (even though most of the time men are so much better cooks), make the clothes, clean the house etc etc… On the other hand, back in the day women didn’t have many other rights either. You were the queen of your household and that was all you got, I guess you could say women were just maids with a few benefits (I mean they do say sex is a pleasure).
The next logical step was to give some more rights to women and make us a bit more equal. I agree, it was the next right step to take.
Now you’re probably really confused because you’re wondering what was that risky to write that huge disclaimer to the beginning of the post, so here’s the part where it might get a bit confusing and this is the part where I might start getting all the hate in the world.
Do I think it’s the only reason we should just eliminate all those rights? No. Do I think that girls should do “girly stuff” and boys should be extremely masculine? No. Do I have anything against LGBTQ? No (in fact how could I if I represent the B in there :P).
We gave all of those awesome rights to women but it is in our human nature to want even more, so women became feminists. I don’t approve women being used as items or things like that but I also don’t think women should be equal to men. I think that there should be more equality but definitely men =/= women.
Now if we come back to my first paragraph where I said that men and women have had the same tasks, therefore women should stay women and men should stay men (if you represent one or both or neither of the sexes then you should just stay who you are). I’m not saying that if you are a girl who wants to do the “manly” stuff you shouldn’t do it but that you shouldn’t forget your gender role from way back then, when people first started populating the planet. There must be a reason why women can give birth and why men can’t (besides the most obvious reasons), our bodies were made to serve one of those 2 purposes and yes you could do the other task as well and yes you could be a solider or a firefighter as a woman but your purpose on this planet is to be a mother. So your first task is to raise the children to be healthy and then you have the power and energy to be successful later on and if you could combine your task as a mother to a job that you like then how perfect is that?
I wanted to get more into detail of what I think but I figured that there are some stuff left for another blog post. I know this is pretty messy but I hope you can understand…

Yea this is really controversial right now. But I definitely understand your point. Women and Men aren’t equal, neither is inferior/superior to the other, but we’re just really different, and we shouldn’t be ashamed or offended by those differences. And I get confused by the people who are offended at the lack of feminism in housewives/moms. I’m all for what’s fair and for equal rights, but we should be proud of the fact that we’re different and be happy with our own individual skill sets. I know for a fact that I could never do my husbands job (lots of intense physical labor) but I also know that he could never do mine (spend 24/7/365 with a tiny high-maintenance person that doesn’t speak english and thinks you’re their slave.) Neither job is better, or worse, or harder, or easier. And they’re so different that it’s very hard to compare them. We should honor our differences and respect each other for what the other person has to bring to the table. I think that sentiment is mostly lost on people right now.

I know it’s controversial… I’m gonna change it up a bit tomorrow. I guess sometimes the language barrier makes it harder to explain myself at times

I’m fairly certain I understand what you meant, I just meant that people get really touchy talking about it, and seem to think that unless you agree 100% you’re wrong and sexist and evil.

They do and at school for example I avoid the topic because at some point I fail to word my ideas and then I get anxious… and mostly they do think that but that’s why there’s a disclaimer and I’ve accepted that some people might think of me that way… did that make sense? Idek what I’m on about anymore (4hrs of sleep is not for me)

I totally feel you on the sleep thing! But yea, you have to be very careful when you talk about anything political because people generally hear what they want to hear, and are quick to take offense.

Yeah I learnt that the painful way at school. I guess I kinda drifted away from the initial topic which was gender roles not equality

First, why women β men?
If you have womens body, but you just never want to have a child, are you saying it means that you haven’t fulfilled something? If you have mens body but you don’t want to become father, that’s a failure, too? In my head everyone should be the way they want to be. If someone wants to fulfill other one of those so called tasks, that’s awesome for the person who wants to do that. But I wouldn’t go and say everyone should/needs do, that’s not for everyone. There’s many genders types, it’s a spectrum. And yes, two “body types” to get a child.. but nothing more.
