It is interesting that most women here disagree with you and also point out all the evidence and data that contradicts your take. The ones that like your article are men.

It is almost as if the real problem is that we were never meant to be "unequal but complementary" but men wanted us to be that way. So they deny the truth and keep insisting and making laws that force us into a role that make us unhappy, unfulfilled and resentful. Then, they complain about how it is unfair of us to complain and show that we are unhappy because that make them feel guilty.

Sorry, but if you were right, your article would be unnecesary and women would have remained in the martir homemaker role even when allowed to own property, study, work and decide for themselves. Yet, in less than a century, women have joined the workforce and become all the things that men claimed women couldn't be. Evolution is not that fast, which means that the roles you like, were never product of evolution, but of the restrictions that impose unnatural roles in women. Remove the restrictions and women go back to their nature which is as varied as men's.

You might find out that our call is not as "nurturers". After all, the blissfulness of the homemaker sound poetic, right? But then you have to clean shit (literal) after a night of no sleep and your husband complains that you are not as hot after birth and why he doesn't have a warm dinner when the baby is ill and crying and you have no help at home since that is "a woman's job". All while hubby tells you that you are not working and shouldn't complain, that you are selfish and the least you can do is to wait for him to come back home with a warm meal. Because being a homemaker is easy. Oh, wait, we are not supposed to talk about what being a trad wife is really like.

Oh, well, thanks to feminism, we can choose. Let us choose and see where it take us. You might be surprised with the results.
