And justly so. Can't blame me for calling a spade a spade just because the guys involved don't want to figure it out.
Seriously, though, the idea that a large percentage of the female population thinks that way just sickens me. Or, at least, that they think that way and don't recognize that thinking for what it is, but instead think it is naturally somehow supposed to be someone's responsibility to fucking support their lazy-taker asses. Better an honest whore and all that.
Not to denigrate "stay at homes" or anything like that, mind you. It isn't the lifestyle or division of labor that pisses me off, it is the assumptions about what men are "supposed" to do and be responsible for that I've found sometimes (often, even) underlie it. It's the assumption that because you're married and he's the man that he owes you a fucking living, while you owe him ... childcare, affection (if he's being a good boy), whatever. And that an attempt to revisit those assumptions is doing you some wrong and imposing some undue burden on you.
