It has been requested that I give women equal treatment and write a list for them. With women it is a little harder because the whole women's lib thing makes the demands on her differ. A single career woman has different demands on her that a woman who is married. And a woman who is married but has no children has different demands on her than a woman who is married with children. Then there are single mothers who fall into a category all their own. They are basically super heroes and no list is required for them, they simply know how to do everything and do it.
I do not however believe that a man should have all the demands and the chick be free to be who she wants to be with no responsibilities whatsoever. She can become whoever she wants to, but she must good at being that person. And a woman who demands that a man be a man need to deserve that man
I've chosen to write my list based on things I believe a wife and mother should know, be, and be capable of doing. This list is meant for both stay-at-homes and working mothers. And I say to the women the same thing I say to the men, "if I'm too sexist and harsh for you, get over it."
- sew on a button
- iron a crease
- walk with grace
- sit in a skirt
- paint her fingernails
- how to be modest with make-up and know when not to be
- boil water
- cook a turkey
- straighten a man's tie
- gas her own car
- how to check her own oil
- change a tire
- jump start a car
- put on a condom
- what type of scoring goes to what games (the major ones)
- how to hold a baby
- wrap a gift
Again, I reserve the right to edit this list however and whenever I feel like it.
