And if I am expected to stand between you and a bullet, then I want my dinner on the table at 6pm, a back rub every night, sex every night, to stay home and take care of our kids when we have them... If we want to go back to the old gender roles where men are expected to risk their lives while woman stay home and work, I want the rewards for doing so.
If we want equality at home and in the workplace, then don't expect me to take on more risk than you would expect yourself to take on.
It really is that simple, and that is really what is missing from American women today. They want you to treat them as a peer... unless the ship is sinking, the house is on fire, a war breaks out or someone is trying to kill them. Then, they expect you... the man... to step in and take on the risk of being killed so they can go on and you can be buried.
I am sorry... if im going to stand between you and a bullet with all your talk of equality.. You should be willing to stand between me and a bullet as well. If it is expected of me, then it is expected of you...
