I wanted to take this email off the list and write to you personally.
In America, women have no more to attend to than men do. In America, men are
EXPECTED to care for their children, their homes, their dogs, their meals,
their clothes mending, their house chores, and their laundry just as
frequently as women do. I know that sounds harsh, but it's the way we have
made it be over the last 30 years. I know that in other countries or in times
past that might not have been the case.
I for one appreciate my husband doing his share of chores. It leaves me more
time to work, play and relax with my child in remuneration from times past
when women did ALL of the work, and ALL of the child care, and ALL of the
cooking.
This is the year 2001. Also known as The Year Of The Man (cause he can do it
himself)
Oddly enough, when our military deploys to foreign nations, many hundreds
come back with foreign wives who are more than pleased to abide by his every
wish.
But ask the average man if he would prefer a woman with brains or a woman
with strong forearms for scrubbing floors, and he will reply that he wishes
for a woman with brains over braun.

>> Yes, I liked your answer. I also think that women, as they have to attent
more things than man, house, market, work, children, house animals, etc. etc.
have more more different fronts of preocupations, and for that, much more
types of questions. The husband maybe attends also the kitchen, but on his
free time, and the dog, when he wants to, etc. It are maybe no central issues
for him, even his children. But women, appart from socializing the whole
world, and establishing relations with a lot of people, the parents of her
childrens friends, the cashiers in the stores, the teachers at school,
etc.etc. have to be at the same time with her attention everywhere. I
remember that when I was working, I was thinking about my children, the baby
who I left at home with fever, etc. and many times when I could'nt work
because of the children, I was with them, but thinking about my work. So
questions are different because of general history, personal history,
geography and sex, and probably a lot of other variables. B.<<
