| You don't have to believe it for it to be true. > I'm very familiar with the alleged social necessity of keeping women home with their washing machines. I think you missed the point where I mentioned it was her choice to stay at home and take care of the kids. No where did I try to advance an argument to keep women at home with their washing, rather, I tried to explain that for most people, they have no choice, and this lack of choice doesn't mean they should continue to do it manually. You speak about it being an excuse. Again, basing this on your reality. One that has only experienced western culture and life styles. In a region where much of the population is poor, and the only jobs available to them are hard and laborious with long hours, you have no option but to leave that kind of work to the men. So yes, it is indeed a necessity to many of these people to split their roles and not just an excuse to lord it over the women as you try to make it sound.
The reason this is difficult to end is due to the difficulty in ending the underlying cause itself, mostly poverty. |
