Yes
I'm not disagreeing because my silly joke was certainly poking fun at ridiculous accepted/assumed US gender roles/domesticity for a cheap laugh.Spiritual_Chaos said:

Sounds like y'all are already married. Will she hold your purse for you while you pick up your shoes?Spiritual_Chaos said:Finally hanging out with Agnes tomorrow. She might go with me to look at a cat I might adport, or pick up some shoes I bought.
Having said that, we all know what happens when we assume. We've got an admittedly anecdotal and small sample size here that would refute the inverse of your statement and the foundation of my joke. If one were to read the more personal posts regarding domestic life, gender roles, etc. closely enough here from our fellow fans from the US who happen to have a y chromosome (outside of AMT posters and dinosaurs like @Wobbie, that is), I think that the notion of the entire US being backward in its views regarding men and women falls apart.
I'm not saying that the US isn't still fucked six ways from Sunday in this regard -- we do still have a lot further to go until we reach Swedish levels of gender equality -- I'm just saying that assuming that the entire US (including its women) is still cool with mid-20th century bullshit is just that -- bullshit.I SAW PEARL JAM0 -
I was just being jokey back. I know many in the US (And especially on here) don't have 50s views on these topics - Except for @mcgruff10 of course who is still firmly stuck there.dankind said:

In 1955 your wife likely wouldn't have had a car. And if she did, the kids would have been out there to shovel it for you.mcgruff10 said:

Dude! Quit living like it's still the 50's. They are just friends and she wants a tan without the tan lines. Besides, if the just so happen to see each other without clothes at this all inclusive (free flowing liquor) clothing optional Jamaican resort, it will be okay. They are just friends. They totally don't see each other that way. They are practically brother and sister and there is no way he is secretly in love with her.mcgruff10 said:
