@Mmasekgoba This is simp mentality the original discussion was about splitting 50/50 on a R50k vacation if your combined salaries is more than R70k yall afford to outsource those boulders dutites to day cares, gardeners, helpers, etc
@Zamozam Yall are arguing for the sake of arguing when we say most of those duties are outsourced to helpers, day cares, and restuarants, the reply is “Not everyone affords those things” but the main argument was about splitting 50/50 on a R50k on a vacation,
@Sbonelo_Kwazi They became aware of it when you mention that most of their traditional household duties can be outsourced to helpers, day cares, restaurants, they will then remember that “No everyone affords them”
@PalesaMbaliee When we mention that we outsource most of those chores to helpers, day cares, and restaurants , they say “Not everyone affords helpers”
Mind you this conversation was started because a guy posted about splitting 50/50 towards a R50k vacation, R50k vacay chats are middle class
@SizweDhlomo@TshetlanaEeNtle My G the initial 50/50 argument was initiated by a guy who posted about splitting 50/50 on a R50k vacation, R50k vacation is a middle class conversation, they can’t be suddenly talking about “if we cant afford helpers” when it suits them, they must pick their reality.
@TshetlanaEeNtle@SizweDhlomo LOL When it’s convenient for yall, women include struggling couples who can’t afford helpers in this debate. This 50/50 discussion was sparked by a guy who posted about splitting a R50k vacation 50/50. X Women must pick a reality, if you afford R50k vacation you afford a helper.
@SizweDhlomo They are just delusional. There are 40 year old women in the townships who TRULY BELIEVE they gonna have a princess wedding by some rich millionaire and take them out of Kasi, just because it happened to Leleti Khumalo when she was 42. (A whole celebrity with fame leverage)
@Tsholoo341 I remember MacG once said when he bought his Audi at an auction. The auction was full of white people, and one of the white people told him that they wait for black people's cars to be repossessed and they buy them cheaper at auctions.
@TheeOnly_Shadi@Newcity1249415 Pick a reality and stick to it: are we talking about middle-class couples who can afford R50k vacations, outsource household duties, or the poor 90% who can’t even afford those luxuries? You can’t switch socioeconomic realities whenever one becomes inconvenient to your argument
@TheeOnly_Shadi@Newcity1249415 You’re including the 90% when it suits your argument. The original discussion was about couples who can afford R50k vacations and split the budget.
Now you suddenly bring in the poor 90% who, by the way, aren’t even taking those vacations.
@TheeOnly_Shadi@Newcity1249415 This isn’t a “gotcha” moment because these chats aren’t being initiated by the poor 90%, they are not even on X
When women on X demand imaginary princess treatment, they don’t factor in the socioeconomic reality of that 90%. They speak as though SA isn’t a poor country
@TheeOnly_Shadi@Newcity1249415 It’s disproportionate in your mind, in our reality, most of those duties are outsourced to helpers, fast foods, day cares etc. Yet the woman may still expect financial benefit greater than those of the people actually doing that work, simply because she is “taking care of you.”
@Newcity1249415@TheeOnly_Shadi My point was both genders DO NOt reject their traditional roles, men are generally still willing to fulfil theirs, even if circumstances sometimes limit how much they can provide.
There’s a great difference between rejecting a responsibility and struggling to fulfil it fully.
I sourced the book (despite it only being printed in the 1930s) from a Library in South Africa. It's easily the rarest and most expensive book I now own. But yes, I can now confirm for myself it is not AI generated. Lil bro had the fade with the line-up nearly 100 years ago.
