“Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.”
― Sheng Wang
“I think housework is far more tiring and frightening than hunting is, no comparison, and yet after hunting we had eggs for tea and were made to rest for hours, but after housework people expect one to go on just as if nothing special had happened.”
― Nancy Mitford
The first quote here is just hilarious and I really wanted to share it becuase I think it is something ALL women can relate to. I don't know about any of you but I feel like guys make them selves out be be a lot tougher than they really are and in a lot of cases can't take as much pain as us women can. I mean for one, CHILD BIRTH!!! Nuff said.
OK now for my real assignment, I personally really relate to the second quote by Nancy Mitford. I live in a duplex with two other roommates and am the ONLY one who has picked up a broom, vacuum, wiped off the counters, cleaned out the fidge, and the list goes on and on! Until one has actually gone through and THOROUGHLY cleaned a house, one does NOT understand all that goes into it. I can easily spend 3 hours cleaning a kitchen and it would look the same on the surface as when I spend 20 minutes cleaning. The true work is in all the details which go unnoticed by the naked eye. For most husbands who have clean wives, they just become used to the state of the house being in prestine order. It happens (in cases where the wife is a stay at home mom) while the hubby is out at work and isn't around to see what goes on behind the scenes. He comes home and she is up and about doing her normal thing and makes it look effortless, little did he know how hard she actually worked while he was away. Yet she is never offered rest or gratitude, it has unfortunately become expected of her.
