These days are gone...

I don't know about any of you other men...but I don't WANT a completely domestic wife. "Conformity" used to feel like (right after we got married) she was doing me a disservice by not having dinner ready for me when I got home. I just about...well...I was mad. I don't want a woman who waits on my every need. I want some spunk...some kick. I don't want June Cleaver. I want some Madonna and some Sherri Dew. HA HA HA. Well...I have a choice female sharing my too-small bed. She is fantastic and just what I need. Thanks for the post Tone Loc...got me thinkin' about shtuff.

If there was one thing I got from my Gender class last semester (taught by a devout feminist) it was that women are put into a domestic box a lot of the time. its not fair. Free agency is a real thing that deserves respect. I think we men have a great responsibility to make sure we are allowing them the freedoms in the household that we expect. Cleaning toilets, doing the dishes, making the food, and changing the sheets are in no way inherently female duties. I have a lot of work to do to make sure I am helping out...

I got some good advice once... it was that you have to sit down and discuss your roles. Each of you should know what the other person expects of you.
