i did have the opportunity to listen to two women i work with discuss their husbands/thoughts on men yesterday and i'm still feeling agog about it! ive read about gendered relations before but it's strange having heard it expressed so candidly...

#i was working with them i wasnt just eavesdropping i just didnt have anything to add that wouldnt be...argumentative #it was a lot of like...'i keep complaining about being tired because of [labor i do] and expecting him to offer to do it #to realize that thats what im wanting but he doesnt notice'#and its just sooooo confusing!! why play games like that!#a lot of coddling of men and going 'theyre so simple its hard for us (women) to understand it #but they just need to be told theyre doing a good job like a child does and they dont pick up on our implications'#a lot of 'well if we had more freedom to do less hard labor we would be more feminine is what men dont get'#and it was sooooooo so bizarre to listen to because i get a lot of where these things are all rooted #but i canNOT relate to anything theyre saying first of all and second it did make me feel like i was in a satirical comic or something #very 'he just tweeted it out ive been studying gender for years and he just...tweeted it out' 😭#it was a little funny but also so horrifically sad both as a homosexual and someone who has awful communication issues #and who has had relationships crumble before because of it! it is so scary to be straightforward but like #i dont want them to live their whole lives like that </3 there is a better world possible even just asking for what you want surely!
