My wife can testify that I'd be absolutely terrible at it. Of course, I'm just as terrible at traditionally male tasks such as fixing things around the house. That's why I do philosophy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-1140751181808516592006-02-23T22:19:00.000-05:002006-02-23T22:19:00.000-05:00I agree Dr. LaBar, that it is too great of a task ...I agree Dr. LaBar, that it is too great of a task for one of the sexes.

The society I live in doesn't recognize the importance of some kinds of work traditionally done by females: childcare, teaching, social work, to name a few occupations, and it seems to reward occupations usually held by males more highly: construction work, for example.<BR/><BR/>A man should do his part. Housework and childcare are too much work to leave to one sex, whichever it is.Martin LaBarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629053725732957599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-1140389204856902892006-02-19T17:46:00.000-05:002006-02-19T17:46:00.000-05:00Martin,Are you turning into a feminist?Martin,<BR/>Are you turning into a feminist?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.com
