TERF's - Feminists that don't think trans women are women

and btw she’s doing her masters too!

Assuming much? I think househusbands are awesome.

Ah, fair enough.

Not assuming, just saying that if we start talking about housewives being something okay to aspire to, in regards to gender it would be fair that there are relationships where a husband take the role instead. I am sure we can agree that society, not anyone here, can be even less kind to househusbands.

Maybe a weird tangent to go off of this, but there was this show I had been watching where a female was kind of open with having sex with lots of different people, not really sure of what might be better words to use I said slut and got questioned about whether I would hold the same standards for a male character. My immediate response is that I have referred to characters like Barney Stinson as a "man slut", and I added that I have no feelings of slut shaming to anyone of either genders. But regardless the word does sound rather harsh and many people use it in a very gendered sense and in regards to double standards, I think the word given to maybe use instead was "sex-positive" or "promiscuous".

Sorry if that it offended anyone, I know it is weird to go from the topic expected gendered ideas of parenting, to perception between the genders of highly sexually active.

Not offended at all.

A man has to be extremely attractive and smooth in order to have sex with many women; and to be a “man slut”.

I would hate being married to a housewife. I prefer to be on a double income and so does my partner. Each to their own I guess.

So who looks after the kids?

The State, of course -- teachers, police, lawyers, judges, juvenile hall guards and wardens, et cetera ...

Oddly interesting thread in reality , i have read gender reality is fluid upon natures whims.....various species will adapt as situations require .
This is a natural product of nature .
Personall opinion : if it walks like a duck ,quacks like a duck it must therefore be a ......... ? These seem to be the basis for society ? If a person in a police uniform is not a cop ? Then what , must admit about supposed authority figures getting carried away . And people walking into your house in a firemans costume, when you house is burning down .... may not be a fireman?
Then what ......at what point do we act in other than a civilized manner to persons in most all situations. And personally , have the opinion due to much gaslighting costing me desperately and seeing others lose their lives to it .
Am seriously not prone to trust these days.

This remains a fascinating subject to me. Initially, I would describe myself as non-binary. But, it's more than that. I would say that I am more gender apathy. I have really no interest. And because I have no interest it's very difficult for me to take an interest in gender, in general. I would struggle with pronouns, because I have no interest in gender.

I can look in a book, compare myself to that of an anatomical female and accept that I am one. It would not occur to me to take issue with it, because it doesn't resonate anywhere inside of me. It's simply a visible fact. I am an engine, I am housed in a make and model. As long as it gets me where I want to go, I don't care what it looks like.

I do typically wear female attire because it fits my shape. But, will buy anything that fits. Like a cat with a box: if it fits, I sits. I buy colors I like, no preference as to what gender it might appeal to. I will wear a flannel shirt, or a flower shirt if I like the color. I will get lost in lawn equipment. I love babies. I hate dresses.

I'm still figuring this out as I go.

Daycare workers.

My experience: it's good as long as there are no problems, the kid is healthy, without any special needs.
Early preschoolers notoriously fall sick and someone needs to babysit them individually.
Special need kids require individual care not only because of their actual needs but also to figure out their real needs and to organize support.
You can't provide the above in collective care.
Affordable nannies require unequal society because of the very economy of it - to buy a lot of time of some person, you need to earn more in that time + commuting to afford it. So, by the nature of it, it will never be for everyone.

I couldn’t put my kid in daycare because I couldn’t bear the idea of being away from him when he was young. I don’t know how people manage to return to work after a brief maternity leave because I couldn’t do it even though that meant basically living on welfare and dealing with extreme poverty.

That desire felt like a biological/hormonal drive. People seem to experience it to varying degrees.

I certainly would endorse a much longer maternity leave in the US (a year) as well as paternity leave although I still couldn’t have been apart from him when he was a toddler. The drive began to dissipate some when he was a preschooler although it was still there.

I suppose this makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint.

I don’t like to think of people going to work because they have to when they really want to be home with the kids.

I think it's good to study and get some sort of training and degree. Never rely on a guy ever for life for an income. What if he dies, what if you both get a divorce? What if he gets disabled and can no longer work? Also learning this stuff, maybe she can use it to run a personal website if she chooses to open her own business of making and selling things as extra income.

Daycare, schools lol. Some parents put their kids in full time preschool so they are basically looking after your kids.

I hear parents use schools as a baby sitter but I kind of disagree because kids have to go to school and they need an education. But I understand what people mean by using the school as a baby sitter. They are referring to parents who expect the teachers to teach their kids manners and everything else parents should be teaching their kids and disciplining their kids for them. The kids are just there and the parents don't enforce anything at home so the rules are inconsistent for the child.
