I did the feminist response on Art's blog, so will skip it in this comment.<BR/><BR/>My wife and I have both lived on our own and so are equally adept at handling any of the household chores. If something needs to be done, one of us simply does it (no asking or telling the other). However, I let her do most all the cooking as she is way better at it and enjoys it more. I'm much happier just being the clean-up crew.<BR/><BR/>No problem with women taking digs at men, as we probably provide a lot of fodder. Seen plenty of female comedians do their "make fun of guys schtick". Often pretty funny stuff and I'm never shocked and appalled or offended. <BR/><BR/>People that are confident and can take care of themselves usually take a joke well without flying off the handle. Often in a conversation with friends, if an opportunity arises, I'll set myself up for a punch line just for the sake of humor.<BR/><BR/>My wife has been known to tell a blonde joke now and then. (She's not a brunette or a redhead.)<BR/><BR/>Now if you'll excuse me, I have some vehicle maintenance to do.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013518337156050036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32496989.post-6050964137252888242007-04-20T22:18:00.000+05:302007-04-20T22:18:00.000+05:30'A feminist knows that she is not the weaker sex b...'A feminist knows that she is not the weaker sex but the better half.'<BR/>These words say it all.Nice post<BR/><BR/>'Well someone has to do the cooking, and since I can do a better job, why not me?'<BR/><BR/>i don't completely agree.If a work is done over and over again it can be improved upon.Men shud be allowed to keep the house and cook more for their own sake.Your generation may be okay.But I have friends whose husbands can't make the bed let alone cook.I always argue that it is not their fault but the fault of he female members of the house who make them dependant.Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891699611146003601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32496989.post-31327901668855800842007-04-20T17:58:00.000+05:302007-04-20T17:58:00.000+05:30Interesting read.

Basically you are saying that every woman who lives her life according to her rules is a feminist.And feminism is also about not being ashamed or afraid to be "feminine".<BR/><BR/>But the big deal about feminism and feminist movement is that it is because of their activism that yu and me can be passive feminists and do the kind of things that were not possible just some years ago.Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179239922869639391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32496989.post-23370866911908427392007-04-20T17:15:00.000+05:302007-04-20T17:15:00.000+05:30jyoti- welcome & thanksapu- thanks for linking it....jyoti- welcome & thanks<BR/>apu- thanks for linking it.. and i <BR/>do tend to agree with you on the social conditioning as being one of the factors of the mental make up.. as a girl I was expected to learn to cook though not necessarily cook for the family but equally my brother used to make tea and do minor cooking for himself. And many men also do a lot of cooking when they live as bachelors- my father an example right in front of me. My mom never made us cook for the family becoz (a) we are busy studying and we need to focus on that (b) she is quicker & more expert so she preferred to do it herself.<BR/>In my colony every woman claims that she does the dusting etc, but in my family, i have seen my Dad take charge of the major dusting and also K does a monthly cleaning himself in our house and I am the odd-job-boy there as i am really bad at cleaning up...<BR/>and we all know how art is the one who takes charge of all the work in her house where "sir" is the one who is on demand - becoz she is a better manager as far as such jobs are concerned<BR/>ultimately a family divides the chore as per convenience and depending on who is good at it and off course how we are conditioned in our mindset...Itchingtowritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763940951418027045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32496989.post-66980105757072373342007-04-20T15:27:00.000+05:302007-04-20T15:27:00.000+05:30Great !

Love the confidence that you mentioned - it would be so great if all women were brought up to feel this. <BR/><BR/>I respectfully disagree with some of your points though - what men and women are good at, I believe reflects conditioning and social approval as much as innate strengths.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32496989.post-35754843313554687212007-04-20T15:01:00.000+05:302007-04-20T15:01:00.000+05:30the strength of ur feminity is reflected indeed! g...the strength of ur feminity is reflected indeed! great article!!<BR/><BR/>Keep it up!Jyotihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042835133235741930noreply@blogger.com
