"Traditional" gender roles say the man is the "breadwinner" and the woman cares for the house.

I'd bet he was picking an argument and expected her to say that she planned to work. Maybe there was some hope that someone desiring to be a trad wife wouldn't find the first message off putting, but my money says his main goal was arguing and he blocked her because she's cleverer than he.

You must labor! There must be hierarchy! There must be coercion!

If not, how can you even call it relationship?

Uhh yeah, nobody deserves to sit on ass and still get catered too.... unless youre royalty is guess?

I mean, his strategy didn't work - but what is disturbing is that there are women who have low self esteem or were raised to be submissive and "traditional", and his behavior acts as a filter, so that only those women will date him ...

I actually find the answer incredibly funny and witty. I could see myself saying what he said but in an entirely sarcastic and mocking tone, basically making fun of that whole super macho male stereotype. Had a woman responded to me that way, I would have been smitten.

tbh given the "alright." to start the dude's last message, I want the previous conversation context before judging lol

Right?

The entire idea of predefined "roles" in a relationship is asinine.

Unless they're cool roles. I'll be the wizard, you can be the barbarian. Or whatever idc.

Ralph Kramden wannabe? You must either be my age or some sort of autistic savant to drag out that old chestnut.

'Pan eater' also works

This has given me a hilarious mental image. For whatever reason, you and your wife are discussing who should be the one to take on more hours at work. The choice shall be defined by something akin to gladiatorial combat. On a pedestal above you is a fancy loaf of bread. When the battle finishes, the winner cheers and holds the bread over their head like a wrestling championship belt

I hate you. A lot. I’ll have this in my head all day now. 🤣

🎵 I'm stiiiiiilll in a dream ...bread eaterrrr🎵

The very fact you thought so much about where to post it makes it okay in my book. Let's strive to be thoughtful over blind unreachable perfection.

Fitting community or not, her answer is great and I thank you for posting it 💖

I just want one who will bring me flour-s to our date.

I think that's the yeast of the problems.

That was his pickup line

"Cock vacuum" probably

We should add "participation food" for children to public schools.

Through a cake walk

No, bake-off. There's a trophy. I know a lady who won in the pizza crust category once.

I think I just found the one you were talking about 😹
