We are in the 21st Century but I feel equilibrium is not forthcoming, the saying a women's work is never done is very true.
The washing, the cooking, the tidying, the shopping, the kids and growing a child, their job, their role to be a sex goddess still...the list is endless.
Not meant to be a sexist thread but at work and at home we are still not equal.
What or will it ever change?

I know of this and find it odd a parent asking another to babysit  |

Well we both work full time so we both share the rest of the work. I (mr) do all the cooking and all of the food shopping. We have always shared looking after the kids and keeping the house clean and tidy. Mrs does all the washing and ironing and as our kids are teenage girls any cloths shopping that is needed. xxx |

Not always true  it was comets the opposite with my sons mother!!!
I'd come home from 10 hr shifts then have to sort my dinner out, wash up, put washing on and sort Kayden for bed while she sat glued to the soaps.
My family stated calling me Cinderfella.

I'm the same - have a go at anything and put nothing below me, even after a days work. Works both ways don't it...

It will change when women change. When women stop raising boys to be boys and girls to be girls. Instead children should be raised as people. No more Fisher Price kitchens, or tool kits/guns or 'macho' toys for boys. Just toys.
My daughter loved her garage, cars, tipper truck, Star Wars toys, Scalextrix, Meccano - just as much as she loved her doll's house, Barbie and My Little Pony. She is an independent woman now - can decorate her flat, put up shelves, put furniture together with no problem and service minor issues with her car.
I see my niece raising her daughter - who was something of a tomboy as a toddler - as a 'little princess'. Everything is PINK!! PINK PINK PINK. God it makes me nuts. Now the child won't do certain things because that's 'what boys do'.
It limits females and males badly when we simply narrow their tracks to those only of gender. |

Babysit your own kids? Surely if he was like that after the first, why have another two with him? I would have let him have the divorce papers over his very nice breakfast! |

She is the fool, not him!
If his shirts did not magically wash themselves and his dinner did not magically appear in front of him, he'd soon have to buck his ideas up. |

Quite right - equalise the sexes from an early age and it becomes second nature.
I have two sons and two daughters, all of them can cook, wash, clean, look after children, mow the lawn, diy etc etc. I never had gender specific toys or made activities gender specific.
Now I'm bringing up my 4 year grandson. This weekend he helped me with the hoovering, hung up his ironing, helped make mince pies and sausage rolls and still had time to play with his trains and go out on his bike...lol.

No, it's not just a stereotype. In fact, I would say that it is even more prevalent today - I work with kids. Have done for 18 years. Oh, yes, I know we all know individual cases, but, in general, the divide between the genders begins early on. We need to stop that - I have no idea how though! |

She sounds like a doormat instead of a wife. Why don't she tell the lazy asshole he gets no more sex if he doesn't pull his weight. |

I remember buying a Flower Fairy for my nephew - he really wanted one just like his sisters'. I was really slated for it and told I would 'turn him gay'. Ridiculous. |

my dad raised my sister and myself when I was around 4yrs old...he left the army to look after us(awol wise)- and single handledly raised my sister and I...without much daily help.He ofter struggled with social services etc etc..as he wasnt considered 'in risk' category.He didnt get much help when he was working either.
I know thats a rarer example of how I've found inequality throughout my life, and how others judge the sexes.
Personally I dont like much labeling, even when it comes down to the basic differences of gender.
I've never believed women are less than equal, however I can see challenges in the view of the law if women AND men were looked upon as equals- biologically and mentally.
Most people are going to procreate I would say...when men are able to carry children perhaps the shift of view that men arent capable of the bonding required for a healthy upbringing could change, and women wouldnt be seen as 'less' employable etc etc-
of course...there is the option of artificially raising children...turn on the telly! |

men arnt equal in other areas. Men are expected to work ahrder for same wage (look at police or fire for example harder entry requirements for men)
women automaticly get custody of children in the majority of cases
etc
people need to learn men and women are different men have it tougher in some areas and women in others
i dont see women demanding equal rights in things like divorce courts CSA or the draft |

We both work and do share the housework but there are still designated male/female jobs in our house.
I don't take the bins out, to me that's a mans job. I also down mow the lawn. I don't put lightbulbs in or change fuses or anything. I actually don't know how to do those things.
But I do all the washing and ironing and proper cleaning. He does clean but not as good as me.
I also organise christmas/birthdays/holiday packing etc. I do all the wrapping of presents and buying and writing cards etc. He just has to get mine and half the time if its an item he can get wrapped professionally, like perfume or jewellery, he will get the store to do it. I don't get fancy wrapping on mine either. I just get the bare necessity of a bit of paper and sellotape everything. I never get ribbons and pretty gift tags like my men do |

If your a single woman (OP) then of course you need to do everything just like a single guy does. I am married, i do 99% of the cooking, i clean ie housework, i walk the dog and i work. But then again my wife does the same as me apart from the cooking. So very equal in this house and i feel everyone should be equal. |

When i was married everything was 50/50 in fact he probebly did more than me. He did all the ironing.
With jay its different cause we dont live together. But he does little jobs for me, but im the one that always does dinner and i wouldnt expect him to get the hoover out seeings he doesnt live here. But when i go to his he waits on me hand and foot.
He does all the sorting out breaks away ect i just pack and go.
I think IF we where married it would be a bit old fashioned and traditional.
My favourite saying of his is, he will bring me a coffee in bed and say hes washed ALL the pots from the night before. ALL the washing up consists of is two cups lol |

All households are not the same, how often does the Mrs get outside fix fencing, build walls, decorate the outside of the house etc etc.
In context in this house the lady has a policy of doing as little as possible, run a bath?ironing?washing?hoovering?make her bed yes Put her stuff away No...She did decorate the Xmas tree. Sadly this is what we sign up for and the rules start from day one not when the jobs list gets bigger.The same applies to paid labour, you accet the job and what it offers not accept the job and change it to suit. I "him" is in the same boat as you but being sexy????One job that is getting more difficult to perform. |

If you feel this way.... Perhaps it is time to leave and find one of the thousands of men who could satisfy your every whim whilst holding down a full time post, plus housework, nanny services, keeping a roof over your head and satisfying your sex- goddess libido....
Course, I may be wrong.... |

Good to hear, my point also being women do not switch off, remember yes these bins this week...oh yes must do before bed etc lol
"Yes also goes with the job" remember a relationship/marriage is voluntary the same with having children.
"Him" also pays all the bills and buys wardrobes for what she spends her money on...not sexist just fact! |

That works only when the woman is a housewife, these days there is less of them and I think that's the op point |

People are all individuals. My ex was ill equipped to be a mother and far better at earning a wage. When we divorced she was given custody and it contributed considerably to her very unfortunate demise at a young age. My children suffered neglect and then the loss of their mother. My new wife had seen her kids fly he nest and still took on my two and obviously I do more as they are my fantastic kids. We work as a team and share the parts we are good at. It worries me that there is so much on gender stereotyping surely the trick with children is finding something they are good at and be encouraging and supportive but also having clear boundaries. Kids that are growing up now with parents that want to be mates and rarely discipline result in the tragedies we see like Newtown. They see all their rights but none of their responsibilities and never associate being given things with work. We know the presents the kids have earned this Xmas with jobs that are challenging will be the ones that they care about and value and will ultimately bring self respect. |

In any relationship resposibilities are supposed to be equal, they are not, fact. Who has the TV remote controller runs the house and does the least. |

Fair comment...
Also in this 21st century, it is not always the woman who stays at home...
Whatever the situation, if a couple are not Both pulling together... It's not a couple... |

Yes my point being I am not referring to a housewife necessarily as their "job" is to run the family home.
But if we take a housewife for an eg, hubby comes home after a long day.
He wants to sit down and relax.
She may have had an equally hard day in a different manner but I bet she doesn't just sit down as will remember she has stuff to do.

"If your a single woman (OP) then of course you need to do everything just like a single guy does. I am married, i do 99% of the cooking, i clean ie housework, i walk the dog and i work. But then again my wife does the same as me apart from the cooking. So very equal in this house and i feel everyone should be equal.
I am not single this is just my forum account, we have a couple account on here
For how long....?? "

When I was still with my ex I did my share. She tended to cook, so I always washed up. I did most of the hoovering and car litter duties, she tended to dust and tidy. When I got home from work I would take over looking after our son and bathe him and put him to bed. I also did a good share of the ironing. We shared other jobs too.
The sex goddess bit was the problem |

Maybe women should be more like men. Men still have other jobs to do they just don't run every last one over in their minds constantly because it won't be the end of the world if they don't get done!!... However I've never been with a girl where I felt she and I had 'our places' determined by our sex. Seems an odd concept to me. |

In my experience men can make a small DIY job last at least a year to complete |

I often do the washing, then leave it to her to put away, I've cooked a few times to, I've even vacuumed. but do you know she's never once changed the oil in her car! or fitted new brakes to it. I can count the number of electrical jobs she's done around the house on no fingers, same goes for the new plaster board that was fitted in the bedroom. who fitted the railway sleepers in the garden? muggins here! I'm all for equality me |

"We are in the 21st Century but I feel equilibrium is not forthcoming, the saying a women's work is never done is very true.
The washing, the cooking, the tidying, the shopping, the kids and growing a child, their job, their role to be a sex goddess still...the list is endless.
Not meant to be a sexist thread but at work and at home we are still not equal.
What or will it ever change?
"
My ex-husband did all the shopping, cooking and most of the child rearing. I remember one of his friends asking me in all seriousness - "erm...what do you do?" To which I replied - sit and look pretty!
My ex-husband didn't like me going shopping with the baby so he would shop during his lunch hour, bring the food home, season the meat and cook when he got in from work. I kept the house spotless and did the laundry.
Only now do I see it for what it was: mainly control. |

I am really lucky with the second model, She has her own bedroom, I took her the paper once it was delivered after which 'we' walked the dog. Now back home I am running her bath while she plays games on facebook.
And I am still learning what women are all about...........tut! |

Well your work must be done at some point because you all seem to have time to bleet on about how much work you have done rather than cracking on with it |

interesting post, we share out a lot of what has to be done to keep the house running, sara does most of the cleaning,washing,ironing. i do most of the food shopping and taxiing the kids round school, after school activities, parties etc - We both cook depends on who's home first or whats got to be done that particular night.
Will admit Sara does more round the house than me but i work full time which is normally about 50 hrs a week, and sara probably works about 20/25 hrs
It works for us most of the time what we do, but human nature sometimes dictates that we try and get out of things that need to be done which creates friction

I thought multi-tasking was reading the newspaper while having sex......could have been 50 shades of grey. |

What do you mean? I am perfectly capable of both watching a film AND breathing - all at the same time! |
