[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If femininity means I'm the one solely responsible for scrubbing the toilets & tubs, vacuuming, laundry & cooking, picking up socks and other things strewn about the house, then I have to say no thanks.  I'll share these tasks everyone else in the household, but don't tell me these are my natural duties based on my female brain.  I have no desire to be a maid.

And I'm glad to have feminism there to support me in my lack of desire to embrace traditionally defined femininity while still defining myself as being all woman.

Who likes that arrangement? I wouldn't call myself a feminist and that's not how my household runs. My DH is in charge of the laundry. Even though he is the head of the household, it does not make him king.[/quote]

I think who likes that arrangement are a lot of men.  I mean heck I'd like to have that arrangement where I didn't have to do any chores.

And I know plenty of women who put up with this arrangement. I don't understand it at all. [/quote]
