I don't think that, what I think is that the person who cares more about a clean house will end of doing the work unless the person who cares less has a reason to do something when they don't otherwise see a need. What complicates the issue is that in most cases there is no real difference between caring more and caring less, they are simply preferences.

If by pay the bills you mean he isn't rich he won't be married long. If by pay the bills you mean he provides a pile of money and she spends it she is going to be the most expensive maid, cook, and accountant than he could ever have thought of.

the only question is: can they be kept out of power. At the moment it is looking somewhat hopeful.

Even if the US is dragged down a right wing sewer the rest of the world isn't going to follow them. The only difference a right wing victory will make is that America will be much weaker/poorer relative to the rest of the world than would otherwise be the case. I don't think this is going to happen though. Wingnuts can't win on their own and I don't think their cons will work anymore.

Is it possible for a conservative to discuss ANYTHING factually and rationally, or does every conversation about anything, not just religion but science, history, politics, economics, anything, always have to be based almost entirely on religious/magical thinking of one sort or another, or on fantasy, lies and mythology.

people to pay attention to you. How often is the "class clown" a girl. For humor that depends on social communication though woman are as well equipped as men, maybe better. For whatever reason though it does seem like a disproportionate number of female comics are gay.

and in fact doing so is often seen as capitulating to oppression. Maybe when men are not around they feel less need to continually man, or I guess that should be wymyn, the barricades.

but given that it is said in response to a specific assertion of female inferiority I can't take it as proof of anything, although I am suspicious.

Men make a smaller sacrifice by becoming obsessed and women gain a lot more to gain by staying balanced. A man who doesn't do SOMETHING to stand out from the crowd is a social and sexual nonentity, not so for a woman (no doubt, and there is no doubt, there are biological adaptions to this reality).

bring it on

put up or shut up

this is a chance for women to prove that they are as interested in men as men are in them. How do you think they are doing so far?

and in fact we are often talking about biological predispositions.

don't you think it's better to be a geek who won a nobel prize or invented some extremely profitable technology than one who didn't.

I KNOW they want to see it, so I can't understand why the police keep getting called.

contrary to propaganda straight men don't think that about women, either. What needs an explanation is why anyone ever thought otherwise.

Hint: women have babies and are programmed to look for a supportive environment.

This is another example of something that begs for an explanation: how can something so obviously ridiculous, as Jim points out, be repeated endlessly year in and year out decade after decade and continue to be taken seriously by serious people.

This is the trick isn't it. Judging who is equal. NO ONE EVER BELIEVES THAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR MORE THAN THEY DESERVE-THEIR EQUAL. The automatic presumption by you, and others, that the female perspective on who is equal to who is right and the male one is wrong illustrates the fundamental problem. The fact that the question doesn't even get discussed doesn't make it go away.

Who are you to say it isn't women who have unreasonable expectations, at least without a REAL consideration of the specifics of reality. Regurgitation of a mountain of partisan dogma does not constitute a real discussion.

There seem to be a lot more assertions of male inferiority which are taken a lot more seriously by a lot more of the people who matter than there are assertions of female inferiority. In other words as long as anyone anywhere is trash talking women then women are the persecuted victims, nothing else that is going on matters.

This is pretty funny coming from someone defending an ideology and worldview which holds the view that just this sate of constant victimhood IS the most fundamental truth about the lives of women in America today toiling away under the cultural and emotional lash of the patriarchy (all those good looking women on magazine covers, the horror).

Do you think anyone who was truly bi, i.e could get the same emotional benefits from men as from women wouldn't/hasn't done this long ago?

that having gay men explain things to women that straight men having been trying to tell them all along will finally get through to them or that women will end up plugging their ears to what gay men say as completely as they have to anything that straight men tell them.

than finding women to go out with I will believe that men don't have to work harder for it than women.

Even hearing from women that they would rather let anyone say anything they want because the social lockdown currently in place is cutting too much into their action would be a sign.
