Is it sexist to say I want a housewife?


A woman who enjoys cooking, keeping the house impecable, just.being there for her man and kids when they get home.

Am I living in the wrong decade?

reply

Not sexist. Many women want those same things.
It's all about the right to make choices.

Impeccable is tough, how bout clean?

reply

Homemaker is a more current term.

reply

I thought it was Domestic Engineer

reply

According to Roseanne Barr it is Domestic Goddess

reply

No, you're not sexist, but the chances of finding a woman who wants that in this time period is slim. I do however wish you luck 😊

reply

ONLY SEXIST TO EXPECT THAT OF EVERY WOMAN OR FORCE IT ON SOMEONE WHO DOESNT WANT IT...I PERSONALLY AM A MALE HOMEMAKER...IT WAS MY DESIRE TO RAISE MY DAUGHTER AND MY WIFE ENJOYS WORKING...I TEND THE HOUSE AND THE ACRE PROPERTY FULL OF ANIMALS WE OWN AND HAVE SPENT EVERY SECOND OF MY DAUGHTERS LIFE WITH HER(SHE IS NOW 11)….ITS ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE.

Cool but did you have to yell?

reply

YES.

He never said he wants every woman to be like that. He simply stated that he wants A woman like that. Going off on a rant like that just made you look very unstable.

reply

NOT A RANT,A SMALL PARAGRAPH...ALSO,LEARN TO READ..I NEVER SAID THAT HE SAID WHAT YOU SAID....

reply

Yeah, you're unstable.

reply

YOU SEEM RUDE.

reply

It wasn't a rant, it just looks that way ;)

I say good for you Kowalski, how awesome for you to have had that time with your daughter. Who cares if it's traditional or not? Sounds like it works for you and your family.

I respect anyone who devotes their time to talking care of their family, be they female or male. I don't think it's sexist for you to want a partner who shares the same values, Intothenight. I hope you find her :)

I guess you only have to ask yourself what happens if you fall in love with a career woman. Would you expect her to give that up so you get what you want? If so that might be veering closer to the sexist lane.

How many trees on the acre?

reply

3 DOZEN MAYBE.

reply

nice.
Got goats?

reply

NOT YET..COUPLE PIGS AND A TRUCKLOAD OF CHICKENS CURRENTLY.

reply

nice!

reply

I live on a couple of acres too and when I got goats for the kids the area we kept them in was full of sapling smaller trees. Within six months they cleared it completely.

reply

AND THAT IS WHY WE HAVE RESISTED THE ADORABLE GOATS...

reply

A feminist would probably say yes.

reply

The 'Housewife' dream is no longer a thing here in America, sadly!

That second income is critical so she needs to go and earn

*ETA: NOT sexist at all, some Ladies still want this, it's just impossible for most of us if you want a family and a house

reply

Women entering massively the labor market had the same effect than immigrants entering massively western countries: it decreased wages, to the point that nowadays one salary can't provide for a family anymore.

Diversity and feminism have been very profitable adventures for big companies. It's no accident that Wall Street supports modern left...

reply

Immigrants built this mighty and vast American fortress, and many of our families were starving, low wage peasants at some point
According to your logic we should keep our wives out of the workforce...Don't be silly with me, that's dumb and you know it, you never struck me as dumb
I happen to agree with diversity and feminism and like many I'm not threatened by it

It will make us stronger to grow more bold and accepting...more Americans cannot possibly be a bad thing


Don't act like every other guy on the internet and deny the march of history kuku, I say this with respect

reply

Immigrants built this mighty and vast American fortress

European immigrants replaced Native American population. And now Hispanic immigrants (and other non-western ones) are replacing European population.

Fortress? Is that a joke? 😂😂😂

Don't act like every other guy on the internet and deny the march of history kuku

The march of history right now is that European population is gonna be replaced. Perhaps, in Europe. For sure, in US. It's you the one that don't feel "threatened" by it, which means either you're the one that it's denying it, or you're clearly suicidal.

reply

The American Fortress is NO joke kuku...the rest of the world is concerned because we have a gigantic military and 350 million firearms in civilian hands...come poke around and find out what's up;)
This will not end well for any takers, we sleep near our guns, no joke

Hispanics tend to be very nice, family oriented and industrious...bring them in!

You want the women in the kitchen still or can they now get jobs too?

reply

Well, I'm part of that 'rest of the world' and I can tell, somebody has been lying to you, because you're completely wrong.

1. The 'rest of the world' doesn't give a shit about firearms and gun laws in US. Gun laws in US is seen as a peculiarity of the American system.

What's heavily criticized is the Health system, way more expensive and inefficient (Obamacare included) than the European ones. Another criticized element are the flaws in the law system, which isn't based in Roman law. Actually, I was talking this xmas about that with my cousin, who is a lawyer.

2. The 'rest of the world" doesn't give a shit about the gigantic military. Actually, the main concern is the decline of US's military, which has been infected by the anti-meritocracy trend and seems more and more inefficient. It's a matter of time that China surpasses US's military: that's the concern. Beware of the new boss.

3. Yeap, Hispanics tend to be very nice. That's actually one of the biggest flaws in Latin America and one of the causes of persistent poverty. A society thrives when people are assertive and resolute. The social virtue of being nice, which a peculiarity of Hispanic cultures, leads to jobs badly done and the inability to stop inefficacy, endemic problems in Latin America... which are now invading US.

1. Try us
*your little boy lawyer buddy impresses nobody, we have a million of them, they are mostly jokers that have to gin up work and chase ambulances

2. Again, try us, you know where to find us

3. Read some Latin American history...you are an ignorant person

reply

I like you kuku...maybe I was a bit harsh here...kuku, if you are still around we can continue our fight👍

It was a fair fight, no cheap shots, I'm game buddy!

reply


Nope, but good luck in finding one.

😎

reply

Probably living in the wrong decade. I don't know if it's sexist, but would say it's an outdated idea. That's not to say there aren't some women out there who would like nothing better than to be a stay-at-home homemaker. So there. 😉
