Chauvinism

What is up with chauvinistic behaviour being alive and well???

In the day and age where both men and women work outside the home to support their family, chauvinism should be dead and buried.  Instead, it is alive and well, particularly in older generations.  Thankfully, my husband is enlightened.

Why does it even matter that men and women often carry different chores?  Men often do the heavier chores, such as mowing the lawn or repairing vehicles and houses.  Women often do the lighter chores, such as laundry, cleaning and caring for the kids.  However, I know women who do all home repairs because their husbands are incapable.  I also know men who do the majority of the housework.

After so many years of enlightenment, why is there still this angst between the sexes?  Why do men often feel the need to belittle women because they don't work as "hard"?  Just because the physicality of a chore isn't as extreme does NOT mean a woman hasn't worked equally has "hard".

Because they have a penis, do men automatically think they are somehow genetically superior?  What is so spectacular about a penis?  Really?  Without a vagina, the human race dies.

I'm tired of men who think women's lives are so much simpler.  Reality Check: many of the women I know juggle far more chores/activities than men do; whether they are stay at home moms or moms who hold jobs outside of the home.

There is no need to belittle either sex's role in life.  Life is a team game.
