Selfish. Not because they want or have hard manly occupations but because in your scenario they "insist". I would say the same for men that insist on having hard manly occupations.
Out in the real world you do what is needed for people who need it, because they need it. It is of course wise to choose to do hard things at which you are adept because, likely, that will be where you are most needed.
Ah, yeah. That's true. But manly jobs tend to pay more, so that suggests higher demand.
I meant "insist" because everyone expects them to marry someone rich and just lie about the pool or go shopping, or whatever.
I mean, why work at all, right?
And why something hard?
Oh. I didn't have lounging by a pool on a diet as the alternative. I had, doing hard womanly things, penciled in.
Like nursing? Yeah. I'm thinking someone good at hard manly things isn't gonna be as good at the womanly things.
Or raising kids. As someone who excels at hard manly thing, but does hard womanly things badly for a living instead, I have different perspective. I don't do it because I insist, I do it because that is what my family needs me to do. My sisters all make it look easy. But they don't have 3/4 of their brain designing novel communication protocols and cathedrals on Mars 100% of the time.
I was in the same position you're in. 😂 At home with the little kids, but mentally off in engineering land. Teaching math and rhetoric classes for homeschoolers, and catechism classes, was my only reprieve.
I wasn't bad at it, but... yeah. The other women were better. I'm better at not sleeping with the gardner or blowing the milk money on shoes, tho.
Last time I was at home with the kids, I got into Bitcoin. 😂 Staying true to type.
I am excellent at not blowing milk money on a gardener. I rake my own leaves thank you very much.
Also. Doing things you are bad at has it's own rewards. Here is my current predicament and why I can neither code nor vacuum.
Oh
How
Darling

My wife claims he left behind a trail of broken hearts at the doctor's office yesterday.
I've got to teach him not to promise in smiles that which he cannot pay in snuggles.
Just occured to me, that I dealt with not doing hard manly stuff by doing hard womanly stuff.
Can't engineer?
Teach logic lessons.
😂
