    Once marriage is viewed as an equal partnership there is no structurally distinct role for men and women.

    Therefore a man could just as easily fill the wife role and a woman the husband role. So why limit marriage to man and woman? Man and man or woman and woman is equally valid structurally

    If men and women are interchangeable and replaceable what function does gender have in a society?

    Who’s to say anyone can’t be any gender they want to be?

    This is the roadmap to societal destruction that monogamy-only causes

    We were so close!

      Therefore a man could just as easily fill the wife role and a woman the husband role.

      One of my wife’s only regrets in our marriage is that she doesn’t make enough to allow me to be a full time house husband. I guarantee I’m traditionally more masculine than all of these chuds. I would also love nothing more than to keep the house clean, cook, keep up the garden, finish remodeling the house, and pamper my beautiful wife. I unfortunately am just the main breadwinner, and we wouldn’t be very comfortable without my salary.

      I just never got how some dudes are just so fixated on their jobs being their entire identity, going as far as to base their masculinity on having a 9-5.

        I dated a girl in uni and she asked what my career goals were, and I said House Husband. She ended the relationship claiming I had no ambition.

        Fast forward to now, I have a career, but also I work from home so I do all the cooking, laundry cycles, some decorating, while also wokring on car engine rebuilds on the weekend. My wife handles the finances, and shouting at crackheads or assholes when they are causing trouble in the neighbourhood.

          You’re living my dream and I seethe with jealousy. I should have picked a career where I could work from home. Unfortunately I work in healthcare, so I didn’t even get to temporarily live the dream when everyone else was staying home during COVID.

            i work as “essential employee” so i never stayed home, alot of people got COVID by the way, even with safety protocols. what a surprise, as soon as the lockdowns lifted, increased pressure to layoffs mounted for many industries. i heard from a friend who works in health as a technician(not directly with health related) but they held on to these employees and worked them to the bone.

            My WFH has been for about 15 years. I used to work in an enginerring office and quit to move across country, they told me to lug my PC with me and work remotely. WTH this was an option the whole time??

              Still seething over here. I’ve heard this a couple different times from people, where they put in their two weeks and the company is just “well why didn’t you tell us, of course you can work from home”. Seems to be the only time people can get a raise or get permits to wfh nowadays is if they threaten to quit.

                  Nah, I see patients both in an out-patient clinic and patients who have been admitted into the trauma ward at the hospital. All my specialty does face to face is really hands on, so no virtual visits.

                  The other half of my job involves custom fabrication, so we have to have access to some pretty specialized heavy machinery. I basically have the least wfh job possible. The upside is there really isn’t a possibility for my job to be automated any time in the foreseeable future, so I guess I have that going for me.
