Women with higher standards tend to be alone…

…and it is not their fault. It’s men who need to step TF up.

I am hearing a lot of articles about how women have to lower their standards, or return back to becoming “traditional women”, which is the codeword for being a domestic house elf.

You know, childbearing, smiling through it all, having hot meals on the go all the time, super clean house, and never ever bothering their husband about anything he is not remotely interested in.

YUCK.

I get a lot of comments on these kinds of posts as well, so you can save your breath because they’re likely going to be categorized as:

Hope you all enjoy living alone with your cats, ladies!

No cats for me, but hell yeah I would rather be alone than with a man baby.

Modern Women just aren’t made like they were in the past, they’re worse now, too picky and high on their horses.

So what you want is a legally enforced house elf right? Because women married and did all that stuff through gritted teeth because they had NO OTHER OPTIONS. It was either stay at home with your parents and be a burden, under your father or any other male relative’s thumb, or get married and have children to start some semblance of an independent life.

Women could not own property, have a bank account, or be financially independent until the very scary past 50 years (around mid-1970s).

Therefore, to live independently, they had to get a job (also a major issue because no one hired women until after the war, let alone paid them equal wages – a fight that is still going on today), or get married.

That’s what you want? A domestic house elf who is at your beck and call? No wonder women are running away from this.

Also, it isn’t being picky. It is called having STANDARDS. Now that men are expected to do more, as women all around are upping their games and doing much more, some men are bristling at being expected to be present for their family, their children, and to show up for them and the household on a regular basis.

THEY WERE (LIKELY) BORED AF in the past

Many of those women by the way, were bored out of their skulls, popped tranquilizers and tried to numb the mundane, boring hell of it all.

Why? Because some women are just not meant to be in the homemaker role. Some, love it.

But the real horrifying tale of it all, was that NO ONE HAD A CHOICE. No one could choose to be a homemaker and relish everything someone else would completely abhor. They simply had no choice.

WOMEN WORK TODAY.. so….

So expecting a “traditional” female role, while also expecting them to work, is ludicrous. Taking care of food, home and children is like 3 full-time jobs in one. It’s just crazy how much work it all takes.

So no. If you want someone to be “traditional” but then also work, GTFO of here.

MEN HAVE TO STEP UP

Men really have to step TF up. They need to be present for the half that matters, and GONE ARE THE DAYS of many a Boomer Father who could disappear to work, come home, say hello to the kids, and disappear into the den to read their paper or do whatever hell else they did.

It is like they wanted to have a family but not be there for them, unless it suited their needs, and to live a separate life apart from the “family one” which is mostly handled by their wife.

I think it all sums it up perfectly when someone had tweeted:

MODERN WOMEN ARE NOT simply LOWERING THEIR STANDARDS

I wouldn’t if I were single. I’d wait for someone like my partner, or stay single forever. I enjoy being alone at times, and honestly speaking, it is kind of wonderful to be a bachelorette, particularly one who doesn’t need anyone else because of financial reasons.

No one should lower their standards for someone else. Otherwise, what is the point? Just live by yourself, it is easier than having to take care of a man baby.
