If you think the topic of cooking & other gender roles are baseless, then you& #39;re critically unaware of how these are central to the conversation.
You& #39;re looking at an example of someone who purposely & deliberately went against norms. It& #39;s not "whatever works". It& #39;s choosing. https://twitter.com/Tayo_Mr/status/1308573899903381504">https://twitter.com/Tayo_Mr/s...
It& #39;s looking at how systems are set up to benefit you at the expense of someone else. It& #39;s recognizing your privilege & refusing to quietly go with the flow. It& #39;s not "whatever works" while you benefit from the labor of someone who has to give up their own dreams to support yours
The people who thrive & whose partners don& #39;t, cos they& #39;ve given up everything, do they think of it as hating their partner? Most likely not. They& #39;re just living. Refusing to pause & ask themselves what the real cost of their success is. Afterall, their partner didn& #39;t complainhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏾" title="Person shrugging (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Person shrugging (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">
That& #39;s when you hear: "what if they enjoy it? It& #39;s a choice."
Yeah. The choice to pour your whole life into someone, expecting nothing back. Because you& #39;re hoping the person would recognize that you have dreams too. That you are a whole human by yourself. That you deserve.
