High five!

Geoff I know plenty of men who enjoy that sort of thing. My parents are divorced and my dad loves cooking and he always cooks for us and it is really good! He likes doing "women's work."

...who said men "really love" to do anything like decorating cakes and staying at home being dads?

That's exactly my point, Little Menace. All of what you said, probably. No one said they shouldn't do these jobs. It's just that there's too much glorification of "manly" women (hence the "" on "manly"), and not enough femininity embracing within the context of feminism. I am a feminist too, and I can be very girly and kinda of a tomboy too, depending on my mood. But that doesn't really matter because, let me quote you "Emancipation to me is that I am not spoken to like a r****d, that I am not solely a sex object at work and that I get the same opportunities if I can handle them. I certainly don't want to be a man, nor do I want to be like one. I have my own gender and where I stand it's quite awsome."

What feminists always do wrong is that they assume that society (which they conveniently call patriarchy, what a nice way to bias the debate from the start) oppresses women and privileges men. Meninists are proofing that this is not true, that there is a lot of pressure on men and a lot of privilege for women in today's western societies - and are ridiculed and silenced with the worst ad hominem attacks possible. Under every post which highlights the burdens of men in today's society, you'll find some feminists ranting about "male tears", "fragile masculinity" or "toxic masculinity". It's no wonder feminism has become the icon of hypocrisy.

Uh... Sam... I feel like your comment is generalizing men and women. Obviously, people have their strong suits and their talents, and people who are good at certain things tend to be good at certain jobs. But I don't think there is a trait or a talent that you could say FOR CERTAIN that all of the men or women in the world have. Could you give me an example of what you were talking about in your comment?
