I wouldn't have put it that way but I do have to entirely agree. I've never understood why it's considered acceptable for women to so heavily rely on men to "look after them" and "provide for them". Get a bloody job and work like men are expected to.
Women can be very hypocritical in this respect, they want to work and have the same rights as men but at the same time so often demand a man who is wealthy and can look after them. I read it time and time again on the dating sites I visit.
I don't give two hoots how much money a woman earns. I'll make my own money thanks. Yet this is very important to most women.
It is inbuilt into the female psyche to be looked after by men and society then goes and adds to this philosophy. Things should be 50/50 as far as I'm concerned.
On a slightly different but related subject:
My Mum also disagrees with me when I say "no I wouldn't get up to let a woman have a seat per say". Why should I? Just because she doesn't have a penis. Yes I'd get up if she (or he) was ill, elderly, disabled but not specifically just because they're female. That's sexism.
It's acceptable for women to say sexist remarks about men but if a man does it heaven forbid.
Obviously I'm grossly generalising but I am mostly right.
I agree with ya.
I wouldnt say I went too far with my earlier statement. Obviously, not ALL women are like I mentioned, but far too many are. It's the same when women can openly say all men are pigs/dogs, while I havent cheated once in my whole life. It doesnt apply to EVERYONE, but yeah, overall they're probably right.
But I agree with what you're saying about them being hypocritical. I'm kinda in that situation with my girlfriend, cause I often tell her that when we have kids, I feel one of the parents should always be home and take care of the house and the kids etc. For me, it's logical that person would be ME, as I'm very good with kids, plus I have a medical thingy that kinda keeps me at home anyway, so hopefully I'll be able to combine working at home and parenting and householding. For me, that would be the most logical solution, and she can go work.
But for her it feels like a woman should be at home, and the guy should be out to work. Normally, I'd kinda agree, but as I said, our situation is a bit different, so we have to adapt to the circumstances. But she has a little trouble with that.
Apparently, housework and parenting is ONLY a full-time job (and 'the most difficult job in the world') when a WOMAN is doing it.... cause when a GUY is doing it, he suddenly is a BUM who's taking advantage of his working wife!?

I'd completely disagree there it's just women are so expected to always look 100% beautiful it becomes much harder as you get older, whereas men are not. Grey hair on men looks charismatic but women it looks old.
No... I seriously feel men age much better than women. Usually. Ofcourse you have hot women who are already over 50, and you have guys who are already hideous looking when they're 35... but overall men age better.
I also believe it's because women are smearing crap on their faces their whole lifes, so their skin just kinda dies after 40. It's unhealthy and I always tell my girlfriend I'd rather see her without all that crap on her face (which luckily she does). Women are also always shitting around with new products in their hair. Every time a new product or brand hits the stores, women rush out to try it on. That's not good.
Plus obviously for men it's more accepted to grow older physically... or maybe we wear it a bit better. But for women their aging is all the more obvious cause women are trying so hard to hide it. Saggy tits, loads of make up to cover the wrinkles, hideous haircoloring to cover up the grey/white, etc.
A healthy 60 year old man will usually look younger and more 'alive' and healthier than a healthy 60 year old woman. That's just a fact.
Just look at Clint Eastwoord, who is 70 or something, and still looks reasonably well.
As a guy you just have to worry about not growing fat, and hoping that everything with stay kinda 'tight'. As a woman, it's much harder to stop everything from becoming saggy and starting to drop etc...
