Re: Armenian lesbians/gays

I will say this again ... it is obvious the most important jobs should be left up to the men. If raising the children and taking care of the house is soooo very very important, the only reasonable solution is for men to do it so they do it right.

And again I say, in biological roles, men don't tend to the house, they are not the one that bear the children. Men are the "hunters", men also have very important responsibility for the family, in terms of supporting family financially and protecting the family and also passing down his values/teachings to his children.

So what Levon? I have two MA's and a PhD. And I know lots of people with a bunch of initials after their names who are total A-holes.

What you lack, clearly, is a sense of humility. Hubris is the disease of the current generation of Armenian men, and let me tell you, it is very unattractive. This is why so many Armenian women want nothing to do with Armenian men. Why bother when you can connect with someone who respects you as an individual and doesn't demand anything different from you than what he demands of himself? Why bother when you know your husband is going to run to his mama all the time because she makes sure he never separates from the family? No thanks!

In biological roles? No. In traditional roles. Traditions have little to do with biology and much to do with culture and politics. As such, traditional roles are constructs. Biology has little, if anything, to do with it.

You have a problem with the man maintaining warm relations with his parents/family? Preferably, though man and wife live with man's parents so family is all connected.

Actually, if you study the biological differences between the sexes (read some books about evolutionary psychology) it highlights how these biological differences play out in the age old traditional roles that men/female have had.

I think you're just trying to pi$$ me off. I can't imagine anyone willingly living with their parents or in-laws. What a recipe for disaster!

What are you talking about?? That's done very often among Armenian families. I will more than likely do that also.

Re: Armenian lesbians/gays

Evolutionary biology has very little influence in the post-industrial era. We no longer need men to go out and hunt big game. And since machines wash and dry our clothes, a man can do it just as well as a woman. You could look up other studies that suggest that maintaining androgyny of roles in the home produces children who are well-adjusted, happy, and productive adults.

Re: Armenian lesbians/gays

Let me guess, Mos. You're planning to import a wife from a village who is happy just to have hot, running water, and three square meals...

Are you also going to require that your wife be awake before your father, and only go to sleep after your father has gone to bed? Will you insist that she not talk with your father or older male relatives and keep her eyes on the ground when they are there? Maybe she should cover her mouth with a kerchief like they used to do until very recently in Zangezur?

Evolutionary biology takes much more to be changed. Post-industrial era has not changed the natural role of women bearing the kids and holding up the house. Obviously, other factors have changed with technology and so forth, but the core layer still remains.
