[quote=Anonymous][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]

What's the difference in your house between head of the household and king? How do you interact differently that you would if you said your household had equal partners instead of a head?[/quote]

How is a quarterback and a running back different? Do kings change diapers, do laundry, repair the dishwasher, take out the trash and walk the dog?

have you had such male trauma in your life that you cannot understand how a man can be a participating leader in his home?[/quote]
