My birthday is in a couple of weeks. I really wanted Yves Saint Laurent lipstick (feminine thing right?). But instead I HAD to buy a new chainsaw. (pictured above. useful, but not very feminine)
See OP, if I had a man to handle the chainsaw/firewood end of things so that me and my babies don't freeze to death....then I could focus on more feminine things like expensive make-up.

There are expectations on both sides of the table though...just remember that.
A big one is chivalry!
I don't expect any of those things you listed, but if a woman doesn't at least take care of themselves...I'm not interested.
My next thread should be "The loss of nuggets"
would be about $100 K a year yet men expect (as their due, mind you) a wife to do it for free
The first crops (wheat and barley) started to be planted about 10,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent, in today's Iraq, Syria and Turkey
But speaking of emasculation and complicated chaos, check out loam's old thread.
MEN: You are being chemically castrated
The husbands used to make enough at work to support the family, now both have to work to get ahead.

Why does it take an extra wage working for 40 years fulltime to have mortgage nowadays?
The math doesnt add up -
Dontcha know you're supposed to be wearing a skirt and high heels, batting your eyelids and looking all vulnerable-like whilst holding that chainsaw, darlin' ??

This is very simple to explain. When only the man worked, there was only one paycheck. So the builders of houses had to price them to sell to the one paycheck families. When women started to work, families now had two paychecks. So, the builders of houses could raise prices and still sell the houses. The prices of all things rose because families could afford the higher prices. Just because you have more money, doesn't mean you can buy more things. You have to have more money than your neighbors. When all the families have two paychecks, the prices of things simply adjust to a higher level, because the law of "supply and demand" remains the same.

In other words...
Women tanked the economy and broke society by not staying at home. There. Done.
You could have just said what you meant in one short sentence instead of wasting an entire paragraph on it; but I suppose it is harder for people to call you on your crap when you are attempting to drown them in a sea of obfuscation.
