Quite honestly,
I've never strived to be "equal" to men. When it comes to work and pay, hell yes, of course I am.
Fuck, I can and have changed my own tires and my own oil in my car, I can change a plug and I own power tools because I live alone.
However, if you want to treat me like a lady, open doors for me, pay for my hair styling and nails.....ooooh get in THERE!

In my opinion, I'm me. I can do what needs to be done, and if I can't I'll get a friend to help whether they're male or female.

I got a fishing rod rack for Christmas that needs putting together. Will you do it for me?

I'm crazily generalising about rabid feminism
Specifically the ones that say that women are more equal than men and can hold down a massively high-paying job, run a household with Teutonic efficiency and at the same time raise kids successfully and be happy at the same time.

I'm just trying to raise the point that I think that women and men should stick to what they're successful at, not what they think they should be successful at because of an ideal that states they should be able to do both the "jobs" of a man and a woman at the same time.

If you happen to be successful at doing both sexes "jobs" and are happy at the same time, then good on you, keep it up. It's the ones that aren't successful at doing both "jobs" and are unhappy and then proceed to dig themselves in further because of this idea that they should be able to that concerns me.

Sorry if both that and my original post came across as patronizing and confusing, I really didn't mean for it to be so.

Cunt.
Actually, neither of them came across as patronizing. I just like the fact I have, and can use, power tools.
Still need help with my rod rack, though!

Ah, okays
And I like the fact that I'm capable of sewing stuff back together. Such as shirts, trousers, and jackets.

If I could help with the rod rack, I would. Shame there's a fair bit of distance between us. Cunting oceans.
