And most couples I know also both have full time jobs. But guess what, the man generally takes responsibility for:
Organising banking/mortgage payments

Organising insurance policies on house/car(s)

Organizing and optimising utility bills

Maintenance/repairs of family car(s), home appliances etc

Physical work such as DIY, bins, gardening and so on

Sports fixtures with kids

etc

They handle far more of the financial/physical load...

And just one final point; having come through a recession and having seen several friends and family lose their homes, it's funny how nobody ever pointed at the female partner and blamed them for that. But the men, to a greater or lesser extent, certainly were.

I really don't think that list of jobs you claim are mostly jobs done by men, is generally true. Some things like DIY might be true. But the financial stuff like mortgages; do modern couples segregate that stuff? I really doubt it.

That kind of thing might have been true in the past.

Apparently we overdid the ould patriachal oppression and the girls don't like it...

What should we do with a child's temper tantrums, the article doesn't say...is it just women's tantrums we should encourage?

No need to be offended. I'm sure the joke was original 50 years ago.

It's a cultural disease emanating from the postmodern "individualistic" societies in which gender roles have been abolished and the sexes are viewed as totally interchangable. This results in women becoming possessed by their masculine side and men their feminine. They're then unable to process their emotions and become highly neurotic.

If this thread is anything to go by, everyone is angry.

The interesting thing about the article is that I didn't think it tried to assign blame. It states and speculated on why women felt angry but there was far more focus on what they could do to address and cope with that anger and at no point did it suggest directing it at men. As some have pointed out men can feel as equally frustrated about gender bias in other areas and I think they could take as much from this article on how to deal with that frustration as the women it's aimed at.

I think we're still in the age where those can be regarded as modern phenomena, starting around 60 years ago, and still continuing. If there is a postmodern reaction, it will be against those trends.

I tend to steer clear of angry men and women.

At the end of the day we're all responsible for our choices and decisions.

There's a lot of unfortunate men women and children who have no choice but to put up with people's anger and personality disorders.

Running into marriages and living together early on in relationships, making poor lifestyle choices, working in ****ty jobs with unreal expectations and pressure beyond comprehension.

For what the promise of a prize at the end, big bonuses and benefits.
Like a donkey following the carrot.
If you work your arse off you'll get a prize at the end of the week....

I can see why women are getting frustrated with the system and believing the lies being spewed to them from their peer's and what's expected of them .

It really baffles me why the focus is always on people's anger and frustration.

I never hear much on the media about the women out there who are happy out, living the dream.

There's a lot of them living rurally, they've left the so called rat race and are enjoying the artisan lifestyle, not interested in getting married to some jock or living the fast lane lifestyle of fashion technology and managing a team of unhappy people.

Just passed an amazing woman earlier, she's nearly 40 out picking BlackBerries, she'll probably head home later and make black berry pie, finish off some poem she's writing.

Put on a fire later, listen to her favourite music.
Her boyfriend might drop by or her elderly neighbor will drop in for a chat and cup of tea.

She's quite content and happy, works for herself makes enough to get by.

She used to be in the cooperative world in London, woke up one morning said she's had enough.
Started saving to follow her dream, now she's living it.

I think women are amazing, they're at their best when they are free from pressure and content with their decisions.

The feminist narrative was at least heavily implied; that women were collectively oppressed historically by being relegated to a subservient role to men and that it is the injustice of this which has built up anger in women throughout the generations. But this can't be the case as women were far calmer and composed in former eras. The neurosis of today's women is due to their rebellion against their reproductive roles. They have only fought to be "liberated" to go and live as male egos because of a delusional perception of what this actually entails and they're now totally misfitted.

It's as true as the list of things women are supposed to exclusively do ;-)

Job for job in there in our case the above is almost spot on. My other half is physically fit and very capable. She has far more third level qualifications than I do yet I am the one tasked with any and all down to the most basic of diy jobs (which I enjoy doing, she doesn't know this). Sorting switching mortgage bank accounts/home insurance/ etc etc.
Even today I get a call to order oil because she heard on the radio oil prices are sure to go up. On asking can she do it as I'm working, nope. Apparently I'm better at that type of stuff. But do you know what, this split of things to do doesn't bother us one bit. I'm an engineer and she's a social worker ( both paid the same as our male/female colleagues) and we genuinely laugh at people being so dramatic about the topic. In the home as long as one isn't sitting on their hoop while the other slaves away then it's all just false outrage. But sure look, maybe we aren't woke enough to fight each over when it comes to pointless sh*&e

The bit in bold is something that stood out to me in the article (it was implied in the article). How could anyone know how angry women were in the past? And how could they compare today's anger with previous anger?

Seems like an obviously faulty premise.

Women's mental health has been plummeting continuously since feminism has been around, according to all the surveys.

They would have been true enough for my parents and grandparents too. But I don't think it's accurate for young people now. Not in my experience anyway.

Maybe, just maybe both sexes are getting angrier due to technology. Looking at that phone screen for hours a day ain't benefiting the human race. Am i right? **** knows.

We're there loads of mental health surveys of women over 100 years ago? Really?

Of course there was a feminist narrative but my point is that it didn't say a healthy way of dealing with anger or frustration was to take it out on men as one might assume judging by some of the reactions here.

Also, talk of women rebelling from their "reproductive roles" only helps the feminist narrative you described so succinctly.

Jmsg · 16-09-2019 5:08pm

How so? Their "reproductive roles" are hardly a diminished position to be in although in them they can't strive to be a CEO of a large corporation which feminists seem to think every man is.
