I got a headache and a twitch in my left eyebrow from reading that stuff. Funny that it is 100% identical to such articles from the early 1990s; equally retarded reasoning and equally stupid avoidance of the real issue:

Stuff needs doing, and comes with different priorities dep. on circumstances, and said stuff doesn't care about ideology or anything, and the objectively best way of doing stuff is that the one most skilled at it does it, because then it gets done in the fastest and most economical way.

I can't stand - I get so riled I raise my voice - when people equate "equality" with doing the mathematical mean of chores. "I've washed and rinsed six table spoons, now you have to wash and rinse six forks, and the I'll wash and rinse six knives and then..."

That's retarded in extremis.

People sometimes asked (when we lived in the city) how we "got our marriage to work/function" as if it was some kind of machine, relating to chores and such. "We do it the way our grandparents did it" was the reply. The one best suited to the task does it; if it's not obvious who that is, hash it out and decide. You can always re-do who does what as needed, when needed.

But the true problem is the women. Age 50 and younger, they have been brainwashed to think in the way referred to above, that equality means doing the mathematical mean of things. (Except for the heavy, dirty and dangerous stuff, of course.)

I mean, I /could/ technically bake a cake - I'm not too stupid to follow a recipe. But my wife can do it without, because she knows cooking for real, from the basic principles of it. So she does it.

She could, with a lot of effort, swap the tyres of the pickup truck. Sure, she'd need a lot of WD-40, a long lever and mallet to loosen the nuts and maneuvering the tyre into place would be difficult for her, but she could do it if needed.

But since we're not retarded, she bakes a cake and I swap the tyres.

The people in the article, the "philosopher", NRK, and so on - I can only describe them as retarded. Certainly brainwashed, but as a shorthand, retarded - using the original meaning of development into a functioning adult human having been stunted for whatever reason - is the best one I think.

If Kindergartens weren't for indoctrinating, then private such wouldn't have been outlawed when the system of public ones was established. Now, with the islamic invasion it's gotten a bit muddled of course. Moslems may have their own, and you can run a zero-profit parental collective one, but pure for-profit ones are still de facto outlawed, and seen as morally wrong and suspicious.

Your experiences mirror mine, as do your opinions about this. I'm so glad I'm married to a sane woman.

As to the last paragraph, Norway didn't outlaw private kindergartens--they did something way more insidious: since wages are so pathetically low in Norway, all such private institutions (kindergartens, schools) are still legal--but they are so hideously expensive* that gov't heavily subsidises them. And doing so enables the gov't to insert their agit-prop…

*Now, I don't know what the true cost w/o subsidies would be here in Norway; back in 2020 in Switzerland, the monthly (!) cost of one private school spot would be in the vicinity of 25-30K NOK equivalent (times 12 per year), which is to say: there's simply not enough Norwegians willing and able to pay that (as opposed to Switzerland).

As to the Moslem religious schools, this one will amuse™ you: Norway originally permitted confessional private schools with the understanding that they'd be mainstream Lutherans, but the legislation was written in general language with reference to religious freedoms.

Once mass immigration of Moslems commenced, they used these clauses to establish their own religious schools and kindergartens, effectively creating a kind of parallel structure while citing 'religious freedom' and the like. They actually played this very well, and in addition, there's now the threat™ emanating from such evangelical institutions, too, as the Norwegian Church is turning ever more woke and thus chasing its more sane (former) members to so-called 'free churches' and their establishments.

How was cooking when you lived alone? Or have you not done that ?

Rikard's avatar

I do not understand the question. If you want a better answer, you'll have to elaborate a bit on what you mean by it.

Damaris97's avatar

Well you say only your wife knows cooking for real, from the basic principles. Wax it hard to cook without knowing those, when you lived alone?

Rikard's avatar

She's a chef by profession. I'm not.

Cooking, the basics, is easy.

Damaris97's avatar

Haha, that makes sense! The chef should obviously be the one to cook.

Equality doesn't have the mean each does half of each task. It should mean that neither person does more work than the other overall, on the average day.

I think I have identified the problem: that cordless drill is comically tiny.

Muahahahahaha.

I thought the man bun was the give-away here…

Most painful read! Generations of spoiled people invariably spells degeneration. ;-)
