If men stopped working…the world would continue on.

If women stopped working, then things would get ugly.

What?

there has been an instance where this happened. it was 1975 and icelandic women decided not to work for one day.  working as in cooking, cleaning, taking care of the children, doing chores and so on, not only “not showing up to your workplace”. women did nothing that day, except showing up in reykjavik and protesting for gender equality, equal pay and equal representation in parliament, you know, cool stuff.  you know what happened? havoc. men were left with food to cook and children they never took care of to pick up from kindergarden and entertain for the day. they went en masse to the food shops buying sausages because they could cook nothing else, they had to bond with children they never spent more than a couple hours a day with. they struggled combining their work day and the domestic tasks they had to sort out. and this just for one day. iceland in 1975 stopped working and things indeed got ugly. so ugly that women in the following decades became woke AF and soon it happened that women became president, took half of the seats in parliament and achieved one of the best living environments in the world. is your astonishment solved now?

Literally what happens then is women say “Ok fine we’ll do that too” and do it.

“I don’t know what love is. I don’t know the definition of love but I think love is the way you feel when he looks at you. Like how everything bad in the world isn’t bad or how everything wrong with your life isn’t wrong. I think that’s love. When for that split second when you’re out of touch with reality because he’s there. He’s there and you’re just so in love with him, it’s like you forget you’re even hurting. I think love is that smile you get which is greeted by a “shut up” when you tell her she’s beautiful. I think love is when you can completely just break your body in half for another person.”

If there is a next life, I can only hope that I will be enough in that one.

“i realized that i was in love when i started to notice every little thing about you, like the way you smile when you thought no one was watching, or the subtle eye roll you give when your friends are being annoying. maybe love does that to a person, you started to see things, no one even realized it’s there.”

To repeatedly tell a child they’re lying about how they feel is to sentence them to a life of suppressing the urge to feel anything at all.
