WHY do women in AMERICA?

Question

Some (of course) not ALL.

THINK it NEGATIVE or BAD about doing household chores..and I have tried this so don't say they don't...

BUT evertime someone ask them "did you cook dinner for your husband" or "do you wash the dishes" (whatever)...they always get PISSED off or something and say "NO I don't, HE cooks dinner for ME (even if he doesn't)...

They just LOVE saying the GUYS do it for them..its LIKE they don't want to admit it...

WHY do you think ppl are going to think LESS of you...

JUST asking I know NOT all of them do that..but WHAT is your OPINION>>>

SORRY it POSTED TWICE!!

COOKING for your family has NOTHING to do with getting BEATEN>>>

THAT exactly HOW women think here

Tinxster: I said SOME not ALL

I'm ITALIAN and WE don't get BEATEN..if we COOK...LOL

Well some of the WOMEN really made MY statement even more true by saying: "Well we don't kiss off you our guys" or "we are independent"

Thats shows that you THINK if you COOK your KISSING off or NOT independent exactly MY question..WHY do you THINK that...

Answer 1

I'm expecting some "thumbs down" for my answer, because, I believe that the womens rights movement, over the years has made women feel that if they aren't working a 40 hour a week job or have a full time career, they are less of a woman, and, God forbid a woman stays home to be a wife and mother, (then she is "stuck in the 50's). So in other words, it is women that put down other women who are blessed to be able to stay home and take care of their own kids, and "if" they do that,...they are somehow, less of a woman than those that hold down jobs and hand their kids over to babysitters to raise their childern, instead of staying home and do it themselves. I, HAD to work when my son was little, and if I could have been there for him it would have been all I could hope for. I realize some women have to work, but those who put down, or think less of women that, TAKE CARE of their loved ones, are sadly misled. Whooo,.. thanks for letting me get that off my chest..lol. P.S.... I'm an american woman.

Answer 2

Huh, what are you talking about? Maybe it is just the women you are asking because if you ask me or any women I know we will keep it real. If we cooked, washed, or whatever we will just say it. Like I did not cook for my man today nor did I do dishes. But the other day I did cook for him and did the dishes.

Some people like to live back in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and some of the 70s. I am living in 2007 :)

Answer 3

In my case my husband does do all of the housework and cooking except for the laundry. He can't hold down a job because of his health issues so, I am the one who brings home the bacon and he's the one who takes care of the home and it works out well for us. He has done things around the house that I could not have done had our rolls been reversed....if I were the one taking care of the home. He remodeled our bedroom and our living room, put in a wood burning stove, re-vamped our fire place using Z-brick, put up a stockade fence, demolished and rebuilt our porch and completely remodeled our kitchen. These are all things that would not have gotten done if I were the one staying home and taking care of the house instead of him. And he's a GREAT cook too!!!

Answer 4

Atleast we American Women don't act like total psycho's by asking a question on Yahoo Answers and then stalking the people that answer our questions by repeatedly sending them messages like you have been doing to ME!

You are behaving like a crazy person, "princess".
PLEASE quit sending me weird messages.

Also, you said in your details that, "some of the women even made my statement more true." As if our answers somehow proved your point.
Sweetheart, I'm not really sure what in the heck your point actually is!
Here's an example:
I looked over all of the answers, and at no time does ANY one here say, (and I quote), "Well, we don't kiss off you our guys."

Huh? What are you even SAYING??

And what's with all of the comments about getting beaten for cooking for your family??

Seriously...I have no idea what the hell you are babbling about.

Perhaps if you spoke in complete, articulate, sentences we would be better able to understand your question.

Answer 5

I do the chores in my house, and all the cooking and take care of the kids, my husband works 2 jobs, for now, til he gets insurance at his new job, and I work 12 hour shifts on the weekends

Answer 6

It's not that they are against doing chores it is the fact that
1. people assume they have a husband - it can be hurtful if they don't or if they have lost their husband
2. women are not just housebound slaves anymore and can generally hold a conversation more complex than whether they cooked dinner for their husband
3. Sometimes people don't like other people prying into their home affairs

Answer 7

Because people in my household need to learn how to pick up after themselves.
Because not one person should do everything.
Because we're past the 20th century women are no long expected to be housewives, they can do whatever they choose.

Just like men some women like to be taken care of there's nothing wrong with that. Personally you should be worried about your own affairs and not someone Elses.

I don't think it's funny to laugh about women being beaten. It clearly shows your ignorance on the subject at hand.

Answer 8

Both men and women have to cook & clean for themselves. These are basic survival skills.

There is nothing offensive about this and no, responsibility falls on everyone, not on one person alone (in a relationship, chores should be divided). ANyone who gets offended over this has got a heck of a big chip on their shoulder!

Answer 9

Well since my hubby does cook for me (I really cannot cook, sadly) I can say it with a clear conscience. I really do not know why anyone would lie about it though. My friends do the cooking for their husbands and they love it or at least they say they do :)

Answer 10

I don't have a problem doing household chores or cooking for my husband. He works twice as much as me so I do twice as much around the house. But he DOES do some chores and he DOES cook. Yes, I do it more but he does some as well.
