Author Topic: Marxist Spain Legislates Housework for Lazy Husbands (Read 1214 times)

Spanish men who refuse to lift a finger around the house are facing new legal sanctions.

MPs in Spain have drawn up a marriage contract for use in civil ceremonies which obliges men to share household chores and the care of children and elderly family members.

The new law, which will be introduced this summer in Spain, promises a revolution in a country where nearly half of all men admit to doing no housework at all.

Puffing and panting and swearing under his breath, 36-year-old Santi Risco tries to put up an ironing board. He doesn't have much success and it's a pretty painful sight watching a previously undomesticated Spanish male trying hard to change with the times

So my husband brought up some really good points from this article:

1) Bye bye birthrate already abysmal in Spain.

2) Goodbye marriage in Spain.

3) Hello huge uptick in divorce rates in Spain.

4) Question: Are the women going to be forced to work outside the home now? Somehow, I doubt it.

5) 19% of Spanish men thought it was right for mothers of school age children to have a full-time job. (WATCH THIS NUMBER GO UP REALLY FAST!)

Quote from: Patricia

"I don't like the new law at all," says Patricia, a schoolteacher. "I love macho men. They are more masculine and I don't care about doing some housework."

:rahrah:

This is what I would have said.

My husband takes out the recycles and the garbage, lifts heavy things for me, and lately, has been doing things I usually do out of the kindness of his heart (and my change of attitude :wink:.) Don't need some stupid feminαzι law attempting to force men to do this kind of thing.

Besides, the most basic thing that people reading the latest posts on feminism on this forum should realize by now is this: YOU CANNOT CHANGE A MAN BY ATTEMPTING TO FORCE HIM TO DO SOMETHING. HE HOLDS HIS FREEDOM AS HIS PRIZED POSSESSION, AND WILL FIGHT YOU TO THE END TO MAINTAIN IT.

From what I know of Spanish men, this will be impossible to enforce .... but it will have great comic value ..... I mean, have they not seen the example of the Soviet experiment?

It's amazing that despite repeated failures, there are well-endowed individuals and organizations who think that the government ought to micromanage the lives of citizens while undermining the family unit.
