A thread in the “Ask Women” section of Reddit asks, “Women of Reddit. What traditional gender roles are you okay with?” Responses range from funny to practical to refreshingly honest. These are some of our favorites.
- “If I lived with a man, he’d definitely be the one to go inspect the spooky sound in the middle of the night.”
- “He’s going to swat the spider down from the curtain with the broom, too — as well as escort it out.”
- “Personal opinion here, don’t come at me. But I wouldn’t mind being a stay at home mom.”
- “My bf driving most of the time when we go out. I'm honestly just too lazy to deal with it and enjoy being chauffeured.”
- “I don't want kids but I would love to be a housewife”
- “My goal in life is to never touch a lawn mower.”
- “We are a modern, progressive couple with a pretty even split of chores. As in, he does 95% of the driving and I do 95% of the cooking and we both like it that way.”
- “Fixing/figuring out all my tech stuff. I simply cannot. I do not know Alexa or how or why I need a router.”
- “Being protected by my partner. I want to feel valued and cared for and safe in that way, and support him and bring value to his life to warrant such protection.”
- “There are certain things around the house, like car stuff, electrical, plumbing, and certain renos that I’m more than happy to have my husband tackle!”
- “Men take out the garbage and do all of the things that involve tools”
- “I enjoy being the attractive one that is being pursued in a relationship. That means opening my door, driving me places for dates, footing the bill (most of the time), etc.”
- “All of them. I don't mind as long as I'm not forced to do it.”
