Lew, see the below quotes and my explanations:I will totally support you on this, @mmaria!ok.. I have an urge to argue with you on this... but I'll pass.
It's actually an incredibly sexist and demeaning statement.
I'm really not reacting on every thing that is said about women, but this is really something!!
It would be interesting and educating if you would go through the post and separate what is true gender differences from what is sexist rant.
Without hard data, it's hard to know, but I would assume this to be correct. Just like the fact that there are way more men in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) careers than women, and this is quite unfortunate.Have you noticed that there are very, very few female gear heads?
This entire portion is sexist and demeaning.That is because they have lots of their little fixes. They can go and buy a pair of shoes, a new dress, a new perfume. Or, as they say, a new scent. They can go and get a new haircut, a new colour, only to stare at themselves in the mirror for two days and go back to have another. After all they have kids.
From the first statement of 'their little fixes' down to 'after all they have kids'. I wouldn't dare say that fashion is a 'little fix', considering some pairs of shoes cost as much as some flagship cameras. Some handbags cost more than cars.
Also, what, men don't have kids? It's the woman's place to take care of the kids?
A new scent? Please, men have just as many, they cost just as much, and some men fuss about their scent probably more so than women.
A new haircut? Aren't men in the barbershop like once a month? My wife goes to a stylist probably once a year, if that. Yes, her style costs probably a hundred dollars. Me? I go about once a month, at $15 a cut, that's more than my wife spends. Some barbers/hairstylists cost much more than $15. I can't complain.
There are PLENTY of men that complain about styles, clothing, scents, fashion, shoes, and the like. Just as many as women. Society as a whole places gender stereotypes on everyone.
Women have to be dainty, cook, clean, and raise children.
Men have to be gruff, unemotional, work on cars, and be unclean (you know, so the lady folk have something to do during the day while the man works, brings home the money, and supports his wife who can't work because she has to stay at home and raise children).
Please. I'm done with gender stereotypes. Gender stereotypes in this day and age are to racism in past generations.
Welcome to the real world where men and women are considered equal.
