[QUOTE="ExploringSikhi, post: 192236, member: 19734"] I agree, I think it is important that a father has a healthy emotional bond with his children, I did not state otherwise. I think you should stop stereotyping men as ruthless monsters and look at this from an objetive point of view. For the human species to survive, we must reproduce and that is something neither men nor women can do on their own. For the purpose of procreation, the two genders are tied together, we are dependant on one another, that is the way it is supposed to be, otherwise if one gender could reproduce on its own, the dependancy would not exist. It takes a lot of work to not only bring a child into the world, but to care for it, provide for it, nurture it, protect it and raise it to be self-sufficient. There are tasks that must be carried out, responsibilities that must be met. The burden falls upon both men and women, and the best way to go about carrying out the tasks is to specialize in what you are good at and "trade-off" for what you are not. On average, women, no matter how much you may not like it, can not "do anything a man can do or better." The same applies to men, they can't do everything a woman can do or better. There are obvious differences, this isn't difficult to understand. Women cannot hunt as well as men can, women cannot fight as well as men can, women cannot protect as well as men can. Men cannot nurture as well as women can, men cannot bond as well as women can, men are generally not as in-touch with their feelings as women are. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, in fact it is downright silly, to have expected men to, throughout history, stay at home while their wife goes out to put food on the table. It is not "bullying", it is not men being unfair, it happened because this is the way nature set things up to run. Do you know what would actually have been oppressive? If men had used their superior physical strength to force their wives out of the house while they lazed around at home, forced their wives to go out and hunt and bring food back for the family, that would have been oppression, then you would have had the right to complain, but the way things actually played out, you do not. Everything has an opportunity cost. Men going out of the house for hunting/protecting/feeding their families while women stayed at home and took care of the kids is much more efficient and has a much lower opportunity cost than women going out to hunt/protect/gather food while men stayed at home and looked after the kids. However, our civilization, at least in the west, has been advancing quite rapidly over the past 50-60 years. Hard labour is no longer the only, probably not even the primary way to provide for the family. We live in a corporate world where most people earn by sitting at a desk. And what do you know, over the past 50-60 years, women in the west have been getting more rights, getting a better education, entering the workforce and are now pretty much on par with men in all of those things. So much for male bullies :thinkingmunda: Perhaps you could read my posts thoroughly before replying? On the last page, post #9, I have already talked about this. [/QUOTE]
