THIS IS IT. “I don’t believe in gender roles” loosely translates to “don’t expect a damn thing from me.”

It's the latter.

Men who 'don't believe in gender roles' absolutely believe in gender roles. They claim to go 50/50, but it's only on the finances and they have a lot more disposable income. They never go 50/50 on chores or emotional and mental labour.

I love being feminine, a clean and tidy house and cooking. I do all that for myself.

BUT, I'm one of the very few woman that can actually go on strike without being to bothered by it. I can step over all of his shit, not do laundry for two weeks (because I have enough underwear and socks for myself to last for a year) and not notice the things that are running out such as toiletpaper (I always have tissues in my purse so I'm good).

I will tell you, absolute chaos ensues and they DO NOT like it. I used to do this when I was still a pick me to get the message across. I didn't care how long it lasted, but I can tell you that men absolutely do. All of a sudden, roles are reversed and they are 'Mr. nag about the trash bin'. They do notice things that run out or need to be done.

I recommended the technique to one of my sorority sisters whose fiance treated her as a bangmaid. This 27 year old man called his mom. I kid you not. His mom came over to collect his laundry and scold her.

Of course, if you have to resort to these extreme measures, you're dealing with a N/LVM and now I would absolutely dump before it even got this far. But it shows how men are absolutely capable of doing things the right way, but choose not to.

Men will always talk about how "unfair" the beauty standards are for men, cause it expects them to look manly and strong and whatever. But just wait till the women say they will stop shaving and wearing feminine clothes, then the men will come with the "biology" and insist we were made to look and act like women.

This is why I avoid men who say they "don't believe in traditional gender roles." It just means I can't expect them to open the door for me, pay for a date, try to impress me, or act like an adult. This is why I exclusively date men who are SLIGHTLY older than me. They're not nasty old men looking for a younger fuck, but they're not the typical millenial "woke feminist" who just wants to treat me like their "bro" and not their girlfriend.
