His undies got destroyed, I kept buying replacement clothes to replace my stuffed items. Does not have time to do anything else but the washing. Would be the best Christmas present ever if he listened to it. Yep, I am giving this book to my husband for Christmas. But unfortunately this doesn’t apply to the majority of people out there, even in 2023. He must have a fabulous mother and a great upbringing.

I am really happy to hear that things are different for you and you’re living with a mature man. Usually after asking them once or twice, they’d acknowledge and stop doing the crap, and it always seems like they need to be reminded (“You should’ve asked” so that I’d stop sprinkling bread crumbs all over the house because I’m too lazy to grab a plate under my sandwich) and they are aware of what they’re doing wrong but they won’t change unless they’re asked about it. I’ve lived and shared with many men over years, and the only organized person that I had who could even beat me if not just competing in keeping up with the mental load, was a gay guy! None of the straight men behaved like adults. What makes you say that? I revisited this post after giving a month notice to my subletting roommate to get out due to his lack of consideration and absent-mindedness around the house for his own mess. You can’t speak out or fix something you’re not aware of. LOL I know women who live like this, and they don’t see that there’s a problem, because it’s what they know. And conversely, my local DV org, SAFE, has housing/shelter options for male and female victims of DV.įurthermore, this is not a matter of being afraid to speak up, this is about letting the people in this system know that this is an issue.

However, we’re still a bit imbalanced financially with the menfolk, so when there’s a DV issue, no matter which partner is which, the man is usually the homeowner or leaseholder, so safe to say, they don’t need the DV shelters nearly as much as women. You know feminists are all about fixing that, right? Promoting services for men. I totally get that men are frequent victims of DV, and it typically goes unreported. Where should our attention be?Īs far as DV shelters for men…. Per the American Cancer Society, one in 270 men will develop testicular cancer, as opposed to one in 8 women develop breast cancer. Either that or you put the moron in oxymoron – to which, all I can say then is: I do not think these words you use mean what you think they mean. Doing so makes you completely irrational in your argument, sir. If anyone isn’t being “rational” here, it’s people like you who seem to not recognize that you can’t have it both ways – you can’t condemn us for being one thing and not another and then ALSO call us hypocrites for being one thing and not another.

I mean honestly – putting aside the fact that the post basically ended with a plea for all, especially men, to support family leave – why would you blame feminists for “not fighting for a single mens issue” when, the whole point of the movement is to support women and fight for equality? How does advocating for testicular cancer funding either support women or work towards creating equality between men and women?ĭo you also call the Black Lives Matter movement hypocritical for not advocating for testicular cancer funding even though they too are advocating for equality? And would you also call them racist for advocating instead for sickle cell anemia funding? Speaking of rationality, why is it that feminists get called sexist for advocating only for women’s issues and yet we also get called hypocritical for only advocating for women’s issues? And you do it in one lovely, irrational and oxymoronic sentence!
