So---Am I a housewife?

I got to thinking........ I stay at home, I do laundry, I am not the moneymaker. So I asked the question. Am I a housewife? The answer, was first alarmingly, and almost pointedly yes!!!!! And It was a degree of alarm at the time.

Now that I have gotten used to the idea, I think Men make better housewives than women anyway. Now, I can't just say something like that without enumerating why I have come up with this conclusion. Otherwise, reader, you may think I am just asserting this to justify my own existence.

1) Men are usually taller they can get things that are high up without using a ladder or asking someone else to get it---this feature is useful for little used baking items and or houses that are small with storage that is high up.

2) We have wider arm spans, so it is easier to fold sheets and grab large piles of laundry.

3. We are stronger so we can pick up bigger things. It is easier for us to lug the vacuum around especially up the stairs. And, if we want to move furniture, we don't have to wait for our wives to come home. It is also easier for us take out the garbage and recycling when is starts to smell.

3) At the risk of sounding chauvinist--- Men tend to be better at fixing the kitchen sink, the toilet or other broken appliances,----(well at least I'm better at it)----I do not fear disassembling the washing machine. This particular quality leads to a less expensive household maintenance bill.

4) Offices are better suited for women anyway. They have nice chairs and nothing seems to be heavy. The office has been designed so that no one working there really has to lift anything heavy--except for the mail people.
My old office even had a gym---if offices were all female this would be perfect----women wouldn't feel uncomfortable going to the gym if it was in the comfort of their own space--the office.

5) Some people claim that women are better communicators, that they have a larger language center in their brains. Offices would be more efficient, if women didn't have to deal with luddite men in the work place.


So in conclusion, housewifery should be ranked akin to masons, carpenters electricians, movers, landscapers, and etc., as a guy job--best performed by men (who can cook, and fold neatly). ----Which, by the way, coking really is a mans' job (those big heavy pots of stew and big heavy pans of dangerous hot oil)---look at all the famous chefs---they are mostly men---very few women.

So I look at my lot and realize that I'm just one step ahead of everyone else----I have forayed into housewifery, where the man belongs and the women should let alone!
