Homicidalheathen Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 And men battled and women stayed home and raised kids. Or so they say. So If I ask him to get me a big gulp.......thats hunting right? And battling the traffic..... So he should want to do this for me right? Cause I want one. His arguement.....he is busy playing computer video games.......and says that is hunting and battleing and that I should go gather my big gulp myself. What do you think?

Homicidalheathen Posted February 15, 2007 Author Posted February 15, 2007 No I am not kidding. Its frickin cold out there.
Onyx Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 Whoever went out and got the big gulps the last time, now it's the other person's turn to go out and bring back two. Always doing the gathering would get rather boring after awhile.
phee Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 No I am not kidding. Its frickin cold out there. Well... If one wishes to be treated with respect... er... Basically if you are a woman and believe in equal rights, then gender should not be a factor in any way when this type of thing comes up... if one part of the couple decides to be nice that's great, it need not be gender specific... When I go out an get food for Rayne... usually it's because I want to do something nice, not because she has girl parts, or can produce breast milk... She has done the same for me in the past... Also usually when I get home, I am still dressed from work and she has often changed into PJ's... and it just makes more sense... However, if you do believe in the Old Days... well then the benefits of equal rights are forfit... you get your slushy.... and you don't get paid as much and don't get to vote.... This is an extreme example I know... and men and women are different, but the expectation that the man has to do this... is where the problem is...
Gaf The Horse With Tears Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Well, there is that whole mind set that some people have.. haveing a cake and eating too
Gaf The Horse With Tears Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 and then there are the people that think all those laws to enforce equal rights and sexual harressment only apply to white men.

BrassFusion Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 i think in the context, maybe she was kidding... i got a giggle out of it, at least... but yeah, 7-11 trips definitely go down as "gathering" in my field guide
Homicidalheathen Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 Grunt. Oh wait, I am a girl. It's 'squeeel!' isn't it??? i think in the context, maybe she was kidding... i got a giggle out of it, at least... but yeah, 7-11 trips definitely go down as "gathering" in my field guide
BrassFusion Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Grunt. Oh wait, I am a girl. It's 'squeeel!' isn't it??? not sure. let's find out. *hard poke to the asscheek*
pomba gira Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Serious or not, I have to agree w/Phee & Gaf on this one.
Homicidalheathen Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 I believe in equal rights......but when its cold out, all that goes out the window. Brave the cold for me man and get me a big gulp!!!
Draco1958 Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 For something like this, you have to make a deal, he braves the cold to get a slushie for you then you help him warm up. :grin
Vampyro Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 god it's just a big gulp... if i had a girl, i'd have no problem doing small favors like that all the time, it's just a nice thing to do, if i'm with her, that means i love her, and if i love her, that means I should like doing little favors like that just to see her smile.
Homicidalheathen Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 For something like this, you have to make a deal, he braves the cold to get a slushie for you then you help him warm up. :grin That werks!!!!
