[quote=Anonymous]I was thinking about this yesterday.  Lots of times when a man says “it’s not my fault that she cares about all these things that aren’t really all that important”, there’s something else going on.

Some of the things that I recall my husband suggesting we should drop during the Christmas season because we were too busy were things like having the girls go with the Girl Scouts to Christmas Carol at the nursing home, or the group of piano students who go to a home for developmentally disabled adults to play some Christmas carols while the adults Shake jingle bells.

In other words women often carry the load in terms of doing things that are good for the community and when the men say were overwhelmed what they really mean is “let’s just be selfish and do only the things that matter to ourselves”  and then they pride themselves and pat themselves on the back for being so efficient.

Sometimes making a community isn’t terribly efficient but I still think it’s important that needs to be done[/quote]
