Well it all boils down to being women's lib at fault. If chicks has just stuck to knitting and fussing over kitten and bunnie this whole thread would be moot.
The push for equality, harkening back to the right to vote is the undoing of the modern family. There was a time colloeges taught girls how to be good housewives and set the table correctly, now they want an education and to play sports.
Add to that women taking men's jobs, mean fewer guys earning enough to support their familes. Which creates a struggle for many families who now are forced to put 2 parents out to work just to get by.
Really we'd be much better off if girls would be girls--title XID or whatever it is wouldn't be an issue. Thank you for your time.
:bolt:
LOL
Lovely. I'm not sure anyone is saying they are against the merits of equality. Our argument (which has gone nowhere) is how it is defined and legislated.
When you are working all day (except today of course) and then coming home and taking care of the family so your spouse can ride, I would call it "donating" as there may not be an equitable share of family duties that day. It's a partnership, we all have needs, I got it. Sorry about my choice of words.
It was a bit neanderthalian.
So is your wife "donating" time when you swim? Still, an odd concept "donating" time to your family. Much odder than women playing football.
Just so we can define sexism:
sexism (from Merriam-Webster)
1: prejudice or discrimination based on sex; especially : discrimination against women
2: behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex

Is your spouse at the spa all day? Do you really live in Colorado City, AZ?
Gotta run - donating my time to get the kiddies to swim practice. I'll make sure to hang this over my wife's head when she gets home from work.

She rides two-three hours. I maybe get 20-40 minutes per day. Neanderthal is my middle name (my parents did not like the way Australopithecus sounded with the "***" in Dickson).

Colorado City is actually here in Arizona. Thanks for the great waste of time today.:frustrated:
Next time y'all are in Arizona, please come by for a hug and a kiss.:bighug:
I got to go "donate" two days of my life to the (homophobic) Boy Scouts of America this weekend teaching first aid at a camp that I don't even have children old enough to participate in. When I get back, I will definitely tune in for more enlightenment at the hands of all the forumites. Please, I beg of all of you, make me a better person.

Well, you may have an odd bedside manner, but you're not dull. I wouldn't be donating any time to that organization. My girls are not girl scouts either. They probably still give merit badges for knitting and cooking and crafts.
