It’s not really a question of whether or not there are female “sanitation engineers.” The hypocrisy arises when feminists complain that there aren’t equal numbers of men and women in certain jobs that are perceived to be high status (board members, c-level executives, surgeons, STEM, accountants, police, firefighters, generals, etc.), yet never seem to have the same concern that most coal miners and “sanitation engineers” are men.
It’s probably true that more men go into garbage collecting because of the things that are important to them such as pay and benefits, etc. Women aren’t really attracted to the job. Yet the same is true of many of the perceived higher status jobs listed above. It’s not that no women want to do them. But on average there are more men than women interested in them.
It actually seems like that was exactly the question…
Well, that was a bit literal.

Being a housewife is also not a form of oppression.
An exquisitely layered comment. Very ogreish.

A lot of married guys like to get gay.
Which miraculously coincided with the virtual disappearance of the so-called “female hysteria”

When a role or job is forced upon you and there is no way to protest or negotiate for something different where different things are available, one can be considered to be oppressed. If one is forced by the cold to collect dung to burn and everyone around you is doing the same, there is no oppression. The oppression comes when some are able to choose different lives, but you are not among those some.
Some housewives delight in the role and should absolutely be able to be that if their partner agrees to be the breadwinner, however, no choice and no voice would not be acceptable to most people, period. Which is not to say that all people have choices or voices, but where they do not, they are considered to be oppressed.
I agree in a general sense, though I would challenge that the numbers are the same. Gay men experience more cheating and domestic violence than heterosexual couples and both gay men and heterosexuals out-cheat and out-violence gay women. Testosterone plays a role in both. But again, I can’t disagree that players come in both genders.

Muslim theocracies are the textbook example for this - their societies are spectacularly fucked up due to the extreme differences in gender roles and there’s no warfare or backbreaking hard labor to take up their time as was the case a hundred or more years ago.
Also, it’s worth noting that due to sexual frustration (young unmarried men) and forced “don’t leave the house and churn out babies” oppression (women) there’s this underlying aggression that often manifests itself as physical violence, but segregated by gender.
That’s the one who scrapes the bottom of the trash can right?
Zero over here. 100% men.
That’s the thing, they only want equality when it works for them.
Does that account for the majority of men cheating on their wives?
Hence my example of men fighting wars. Some women want to join the military, it’s men who were conscripted.
You missed the joke.
I saw how that could have been a joke, but considering the somewhat serious discussion on that topic I chose to give you the benefit of the doubt. I won’t make that mistake again.
Thank you.
By majority do you mean that the majority cheat or that of the men who do, the majority cheat with other men?
The only thing that would make that funnier is if they had big foam boppy bat’s to what each other with.
My god, there was a baby in the middle of that. I thought it was a doll at first. WTF.
I’m sort of assuming you’re Canadian. Did you fight in WWII?
I didn’t realize this thread was going to get so many replies lol… I don’t want to turn away from the discussion at hand, but I have some updates on my situation:
UPDATES:
I had been no contact for a little. I have a big job interview coming up and she texted me good luck. I was short and sweet and said “thank you.” But I am back with no contact.
She likes all my family’s social media posts. She’ll view my Snapchat stories that I post. She wished my dad happy Father’s Day with heart emoji. Her family likes all my social media posts as well. I’ve had some very vivid dreams about us getting back together in the near future and it almost seems like it will happen.
Also when she came to collect some stuff from my house she balled her eyes out and I cried a little too. It’s almost like someone is making her do this and she doesn’t want too? I know that’s not the case. She texted my mom the other day saying “sorry i just need space right not, but I do love him and care about him.” They had a decent conversation. Almost like she’ll want to try again at some point?
Best thing for you to do is move on. Let her make nice and all with your family, but you have a life to live and she is in the past.
