Once marriage is viewed as an equal partnership there is no structurally distinct role for men and women.
Therefore a man could just as easily fill the wife role and a woman the husband role. So why limit marriage to man and woman? Man and man or woman and woman is equally valid structurally
If men and women are interchangeable and replaceable what function does gender have in a society?
Who’s to say anyone can’t be any gender they want to be?
This is the roadmap to societal destruction that monogamy-only causes
Therefore a man could just as easily fill the wife role and a woman the husband role.
One of my wife’s only regrets in our marriage is that she doesn’t make enough to allow me to be a full time house husband. I guarantee I’m traditionally more masculine than all of these chuds. I would also love nothing more than to keep the house clean, cook, keep up the garden, finish remodeling the house, and pamper my beautiful wife. I unfortunately am just the main breadwinner, and we wouldn’t be very comfortable without my salary.
I just never got how some dudes are just so fixated on their jobs being their entire identity, going as far as to base their masculinity on having a 9-5.
I dated a girl in uni and she asked what my career goals were, and I said House Husband. She ended the relationship claiming I had no ambition.
Fast forward to now, I have a career, but also I work from home so I do all the cooking, laundry cycles, some decorating, while also wokring on car engine rebuilds on the weekend.
My wife handles the finances, and shouting at crackheads or assholes when they are causing trouble in the neighbourhood.
that girl thinks old school, probably expects the husband to be the sole breadwinner while she likely either wont work or takes a part time job, and likely chides other people for either not working or working too little too. barring child rearing. did you ever ask if she wont spend full time taking care of a child, or she would work full time like you would?
You’re living my dream and I seethe with jealousy. I should have picked a career where I could work from home. Unfortunately I work in healthcare, so I didn’t even get to temporarily live the dream when everyone else was staying home during COVID.
i work as “essential employee” so i never stayed home, alot of people got COVID by the way, even with safety protocols. what a surprise, as soon as the lockdowns lifted, increased pressure to layoffs mounted for many industries. i heard from a friend who works in health as a technician(not directly with health related) but they held on to these employees and worked them to the bone.
Yeah… One of the biggest problems with our hospital was keeping providers healthy. A lot of people got COVID several times in a fairly short timespan and ended up having a lot of long term complications. We are attached to a college and are a large teaching hospital, so a lot of our attendees/educators tend to be older than your average physician.
A lot of people do not realize how many pillars of education we ended up losing because of COVID. Just in my department we had several attendees retire just after COVID, and had a few pass during or shortly after. One of the hardest to cope with was an older gentleman who was one of the first PAs to be licensed in our state. He ended up having to be ventilated, was lucky enough to survive, but now needed to carry around an oxygen machine to do basic tasks. That kind of experience you gain from being around since the inception of a field of study is just irreplaceable.
The sad thing is I work in orthopedics and rehabilitation, so we weren’t nearly as affected when compared to others. The only reason we were really exposed is because things got so bad anyone who wasn’t currently sick was being enlisted to help out on the COVID floors. For about a 3 week period during the peak in our state the hospital was offering overtime rates to general staff to work the floors under licensed supervision.
Still makes me angry that people refused to wear masks, or still deny that it was a big deal. We’ll yeah, you got to stay home and learn to cook sourdough while some of the best people I’ve ever met were risking their lives to save your idiot uncle.
My WFH has been for about 15 years. I used to work in an enginerring office and quit to move across country, they told me to lug my PC with me and work remotely. WTH this was an option the whole time??
Still seething over here. I’ve heard this a couple different times from people, where they put in their two weeks and the company is just “well why didn’t you tell us, of course you can work from home”. Seems to be the only time people can get a raise or get permits to wfh nowadays is if they threaten to quit.
Nah, I see patients both in an out-patient clinic and patients who have been admitted into the trauma ward at the hospital. All my specialty does face to face is really hands on, so no virtual visits.
The other half of my job involves custom fabrication, so we have to have access to some pretty specialized heavy machinery. I basically have the least wfh job possible. The upside is there really isn’t a possibility for my job to be automated any time in the foreseeable future, so I guess I have that going for me.
We were so close!
Holy shit, this meme template was invented for this insane post.

Can you transfer to an admin type position?

Drat. What kind of fabrication do you do?
