Nothing Wrong with that.

Harry Enfield did some good sketches on this.

Everything wrong with it - if you are forced to do it - when you want to do something else!

That doesn't happen in schools today - girls have the same choices as boys - which is the way it should be! That is why things will change - and in the future there will be many more women scientists, engineers etc.

If its my place to do it - i would have to Learn it.

Yes I notice how some young girls can not boil a Egg.
Choice has not worked out so good.

So many Fat kids
Not Educated.

I see it wasn't a stupid question to ask after all

Zippy · 12-09-2010, 04:59 PM

Of course they should be treated equally.

Its 2010 not 1867.

Sorry Arista - but that is a stupid post!

People do not have their 'place' - women do not have their 'place' - people make their own choices in life!

Why on earth should intelligent women who are capable of being doctors, lawyers etc be forced into having children and staying at home! What a waste to society! This is a progressive society and we have moved on! It is recognised that women have the same rights to choice as men!

Men are just as able to learn to boil their own eggs - they shouldn't need a woman to do it for them. If they do - they are stupid men who aren't worth bothering with!

And everyone should be educated in health and looking after themselves - that has nothing to do with male/female roles in life!

Zippy · 12-09-2010, 05:05 PM

Arista is such a plonker on this thread.

There clearly is a human behind those computeristic posts. A sexist one.

"Men are just as able to learn to boil their own eggs - they shouldn't need a woman to do it for them."

Of course we Can.

But the point is Girls not learning to cook
has created a Problem.

are you trying to say these are fat?

MrGaryy · 12-09-2010, 05:21 PM

by that token, a man should be allowed to hit a woman as a woman can hit a man and face no consequences.

i'm not sure by the way, i'm just throwing that out there that equality must apply to all things.

They are fat.

If youve got rolls of fat at that age then God help you in 10, 20 or 30 years time.

Scarlett. · 12-09-2010, 05:23 PM

They should have the same opportunites

but wether they should be treated the same? I don't know, they're totally different physically and mentally

Why? I know plenty of couples where the man is by far the better cook - and cooks most of the meals - what is wrong with that!

Being female doesn't make you enjoy cooking and it doesn't make you pre-disposed to being good at it! People are generally good at what they enjoy - and if people, including women, don't like cooking - they are less likely to be good at it!

We all have to cook to some degree - it is one of those necessities of life - for men and women alike!

Nothing like fat, it's because of comments like that that girls that aren't stick thin have no confidence.

I do believe in that actually. Always have.

If a woman hits a man or gets aggressive, there is no reason whatsoever for him not to retaliate.

Thats me and Gav all over

He is a great cook...mines not so good. I cook a nice sundays dinner but his cooking is better than mine in general. So much so that he usually cooks all our meals. He told me to get the hell out of the kitchen the other day

Well I wouldnt call them fat to their faces.

That is correct.

brian3 · 12-09-2010, 05:31 PM

All I know is that if you go outside what is considerd a gender role. Wither you be male or female. Then you get ostrisized and made fun of by everyone. (both male and female).

Everyone is as guilty as each other for sexism.
