typical women chores

What chores do you have for us atypical women?

Ines

🤨
Are you joking me? Please take on account that I am not native speaker or even good English speaker.
I think that no matter USA, France, Portugal, Italia, France, Spain, Argentina... there are TYPICALLY female chores in home: cleaning, cooking, ironing, set the table.... everything of that was usually done for women for ages. In my home, for example, my father works on the garden and we made most of inside home chores.
And I think that the traditional picture is very similar in every civilizated country.

It seems to me that a lot depends on the specific family when it comes to the chores. For example, in the case of my parents (born in the 1940s and 1950s, coming from a liberal, urban background), it was not unusual for my father to clean the apartment and sometimes cook. In turn, my wife's parents, although born later (in the 1960s), come from a conservative rural environment and their division of roles is very traditional (my mother-in-law does practically everything in the house except renovation and technical work).

You are the only one here that requires a lot of check on the internet to understand what you mean
And mostly I misunderstood all the same way

Next time I will answer that typical women chores are to repair helicopters, shoot guns and drink wine.

dorothea frankly, after the block piece even a padlock feels like freedom 😂

repair helicopters, shoot guns and drink wine.

I have experience with the second, the first sounds interesting, the third is problematic on a few levels.

I don't really divide chores by "man chores" and "woman chores." Mostly I think of them as "chores." I can clean, cook, iron [blech], and set the table. I am convinced that I am the best gardener in my current nuclear family. But I am never going to limit myself to a domestic capacity, and I am going to expect any future partners, male or female, to put forth a similar amount of effort in whatever venture contributes to the overall success of the home/relationship/commune.

Susan Yep. There will be no discussion from me about this.

My comment meaned you both WHO maybe in the Same Situation want to share something via Email, If you feel Like. I never Internet you should Tell US at the Forum.

Susan

But it is not the point, you or I can have a NASA or ESA launcher, but it is not a TYPICALLY female activity.

In our modern world, there is no longer such a thing as "typical male" or "typical female" chores.
I know in your family you look at it the old fashioned way, but that is not how the majority of western societies work these days.

Angelina

dorothea She then just smiled a little and said, let's see. But she didn't say no!

That sounds good, maybe you can incorporate that into the long-term agreements after the test period 😉

dorothea You could say that. My mum has the bands on at home. Since it's more likely that we'll both be treated equally, it's more likely to be that way.

So is it likely that you should wear the bands around the house also during the day and not just at night?

Ines

Angelina So is it likely that you should wear the bands around the house also during the day and not just at night?

It seems, yes. I do not see the point, and even I discourage it.

Angelina

Ines It seems, yes. I do not see the point, and even I discourage it.

me too in general, I would like to know from @dorothea why it is planned like this?

Milord In my family me cooking will probably be worth a call to social services 😅

🤣

Of course, there are exception, and I am not talking about a whole panorama I believe that in civilizated countries we talk about "typical female chores" and an artillery Sargent does not come to our brains.
To be a doctor is not s typically female work, and currently 80-85 of new doctors are girls.
Probably when your parents heard something as "typically masculine chores" we're not thinking in clean the apartment, even your father did it because he thought it was the correct, - me too-.
