All I'm saying is that I do what I can women so they don't have to do things they don't have to. It's called respect. If a women tells me not to hold a door for her, I won't. I will never make my future wife mow the lawn, not because she can't, but because she doesn't have to. Again, it's about respect and what you say is very telling of your character. Your somebody I never want to meet. You'll probably spout more crap about being old fashioned and call me misogynistic again and that's cool. For one, you apparently don't know what being misogynistic means and two, you've clearly shown your somebody whose words mean nothing to me. I get to finally add my first 2 people to my ignore user list. I've had it for a while and never used it. |
I can certainly understand that you're clearly not a misogynist, but I'm a bit confused about why you do specific things. Sorry for butting in, and do feel free to ignore the post if you wish; my intent isn't to criticize.
You say your wife will never mow the lawn simply because she doesn't have to. Well, she wouldn't technically have to pick up groceries, or drive or cook either (insert pretty much any chore/responsibility); would you always do those things for her as well? In case you may say no: What makes mowing the lawn for her more respectful than, say, always cooking for her?
While I think he's far too out of line in calling you a misogynist, I think his views on women, from what I can gather in his post, are far from saddening or disrespectful.
I'm all for helping people out and making their lives easier, namely my girlfriend, not because they may be a woman, but simply because I care for them.
