| I'm more than happy to leave the tightening of nuts on said car wheel to my better half. I'm not too flash in the cooking department, but I can do a mean Pavlova or Lemon Meringe (?spelling). I treat my hubby with the respect he deserves and likewise he to me. Something he once told me years ago when we were dating, a relationship is not 50/50 it's 100/100. |

| Good point Glaspida, doing what comes natural, rather than trying to be the boss (as per the feminist handbook) is where its at. |

a few years ago my (male) boss and i were talking about wishes we would like to have granted. i said i would like to be a man for a day, just to see what it feels like. he looked at me with a little smile, and said i would be crazy to give up all this power.
Hes right though, there is a lot of power in femininity. There is nothing wrong in realising and playing to your strengths. I would be useless at changing a tyre, but i cook a mean roast chicken. Its not sexist or playing the 'dumb girl' to use what gifts you have. I have a friend who takes pride in doing both the 'inside' and manuel jobs around the home, even though her husband has said to her that he would like to do them. The way I see it, if it makes him happy to do these jobs, why deprive him of the pleasure and sence of pride he gets from performing those tasks??
its been so long since i started typing this due to several interuptions, that i can barely remember the topic! im sorry if ive gone off in a weird tangent. |

What a load of chavanistic nonsense, and that is aimed at you gomullagain.
Married people make choices within their households as to who does what. Whether they follow traditional roles, as you see them, or whether they don't, it is a personal choice for each house hold. I see plenty of women mowing lawns and taking on DIY jobs, and that has nothing to do with any lack of femaninity, more to do with getting the job done without continuous nagging. Something you think men would be relieved about.
"Women really did have it super sweet before the man haters started whinging on their behalf."
Oh, sure we did, like it was really nice not to have to exercise our brains on anything harder than changing a nappy or pulling some scones out of the oven. The real truth was that it was real sweet for most men, the women were bored out of their skulls.
If you must blame anything for women having a choice about how they live their lives today, blame on the kind chemist who invented the contraceptive pill and gave us freedom from perpetual pregnancies. No doubt a man's invention, since it wasn't considered necessary to educate women to any great degree in order to cook, clean and have children.
And as to your rubbish about men being out of a job because a woman is doing it, this might be because the men weren't all that qualified to do it either. Or could it be that you are a little afraid of some feminine competition?
You belong in the dark ages, along with that good old male standby "keep 'em barefoot and pregnant". |

| OMG! Beau..go..whatever...how did you get to be such a woman hater? I know you 'point' the finger at feminists, but it is a thinly veiled attempt to gather your brothers into a 'blokes session'. Whatever the topic you continuosly turn it onto a ' feminist issue'. I feel sorry for you. Lucky for most men I know they like women and respect their right to live life how they like, and same for the women I know, they respect all the men they know and let them live life how ( and with whom) they choose. Me thinks you doth protest too much! |

| exactly ctawharu, if i need tips for romance the LAST PERSON ON THE PLANET i would want to get them from is beaumullet. He hates women, possibly because he is such a pansy that even a mildly assertive girly.chic scares him shipless. Unless we are barefoot, pregnant, in the kitchen working for our man and poised to serve, we are all bull dykes. up yours beaumullet. |

Sheez ... what a load of bollicks some of this is. If you haven't got it already then your loving lives are doomed. Relationships are not about who does what when ... but that the job gets done and you actually talk to each other while doing it.
I have have had a previous marriage where like another poster while I was waiting for the lawns to be mown (that was afterall a "man" job) he was shagging his coworkers with all his might. After 8 years of looking pretty, cooking and generally trying to keep the man happy, while working full time one of the co workers decided that they were ready for him to leave and all hell broke loose. Oh did I mention a baby in there. So to all you posters who think that woman should act and preferably actually be dumb and pretty I say "bull sh#t". Give me my man now who leaves everything inside the garden fence to me (including changing the tyres on the 4WD - those are some nuts believe me!!) and loves me best when I am knee deep is cow or sheep dung ... as long as dinner goes on the table that is :-)!!!
PS if I had been useless and unable to go back into taking men's jobs away from them not only would I have been homeless, jobless and holding the baby but bloody hungry as well! |

And her nose stuck on the accelerator as well eh Blossom??
In my opinion even though i am but a B'stard abroad, is that Helen and his cronies are pulling the wool over everyones eyes. Methinks the gloves are off when it comes to snowbound gay orgies and punishing role reversals of the highest order. |

| Yes indeed, apparently Mr Helen has a tax payer funded account with Victorias Secret with a particular penchant for fishnet stockings, a bit like our own Alexander Downer and British Peers to numerous to mention. |

| Alas Smiley the weather here on the Gold Coast is not conducive to such raunchy playwear. Sadly your humble narrator is more lekely to be found graceing the Burleigh beach Bar inthe somewhat less exiting ensemble of boardies coupled with 2 tone platforms. |

Speech my sister made at her best friends wedding:
To the groom, when she is mad, placate her. When she is sad, cheer her up, when she's tired, rub her feet, when she laughs, laugh with her, when she wants you, run to her.
To the bride, turn up naked and bring beer |
