If I do like grocery shopping, houseworks and wanna be a stay-at-home-dad if I get married?

Pretty much raised by all female family, my mother, my younger and older sisters and cousins. I don't see Dad much, he's always somewhere else and rarely comes home.

Taught to be very domesticated, cooking, sewing, etc. etc.

Back to topic. Do I get to keep my 'Man Card' or what?

P.S. If you can't figure it out yet, I'm totally posting this because I'm bored. Don't take it too serious or stupid. If you have enough brains to figure this out already. Please ignore this Post Script.

I'm honestly the same way. I really like grocery shopping (my mom hates it), and I REALLY like cooking, and I'm a neat-freak. I don't see anything wrong with a stay-at-home-dad, because as another thing I love kids. I babysit all the time and every parent (and the kids) say I'm a great babysitter. So, again, I see nothing wrong with it, and I don't see how your 'Man Card' can get revoked. Unless you're gay. :bubb:

EDIT: I'd totally share a bed with your avatar.

Sounds like you need a strong male influence.

You'll have a lot of trouble finding a woman who won't secretly (or openly) resent you for being a stay-at-home dad. It's really hard to shake social conditioning and almost every culture has traditionally put the emphasis on the man being the breadwinner.

You should do a gender swap. No one will blame you for being a stay-at-home lesbian, my friend.

Seriously though... Gender roles are dumb, don't conform to them. I am horrible at housework and don't like grocery shopping [because I don't like crowds]. I've never tried sewing and don't want to. But I am a good cook...So if I ever get married, I can only hope he likes housework.

Just don't let her dress you up as a French maid [unless you're in to that] and you'll be fine.

If she wants to dress me up like a French maid.. I say we just hire one then and deal with it as we go. Polish that knob!

If you feel you need to be more manly ask Mike Tyson to take you under his wing, soon you will not only refuse to do any cleaning, you will punch anyone and anything associated with it.

Lol, silly non-conformists, thinking they so cool. Gender roles are implemented for a reason, and while it has deteriated over time, it is still strong within many cultures. Women tend not to respect men who do things typically associated with womens work, and men do not typically like women who are into thier career as a normal businessman. We didn't make the world, but thinking you can easily non conform to these roles is silly at best.

Who said anything about wanting to be typical?

I think I did about 4 times. But that wasn't my point. People do want to bounce off from the rest, but in reality, it's not very common. Just saying to ignore gender roles is highly illogical. It's extremely hard to do, and even if you do it, it's not beneficial.

I'm not about to get into an argument about this but I disagree with your views on the importance of gender defined "roles" or "tasks"... With the obvious exception of childbirth.

That aside, it's not hard for people who aren't conditioned towards wanting to be "MACHO MAN," or "lol domestic goddess," to move away from the monolithic idea that "man go work, woman clean cave and look after offspring."
-BlanketGhost is clearly an example of someone who isn't...as am I.

Well I agree with that, but it doesn't negate my point. Putting my ideals into idiotic, neandertholic thoughts doesn't help either. But I was mainly talking about people who have grown up with a normal conditioning of gender roles. If you start on a blank slate, with no one to teach you about which gender does what, then of course you are going to forge your own path.

Uhhh maybe you should move out on your own first and then say you love doing housework and **** after a long day at work. Not mommy telling you to clean your room because it's messy.
