Gender roles?!?

As many of my friends know, I tend to look at the world differently from others. I don't see what people want me to see. I tend to ask questions more than other and I like to stoke the fire because sometimes it need to be built more. I have had arguments with people just to make people look at their situation from a different perspective. I lose more than I win, but at least I get my point across and I tend to learn from that.
This week I have had conversation with people in regards to gender roles and idea of what men and women should do. Now, before I start, let me set the groundwork on myself. I've never had a relationship before, so my viewpoint is from someone who hasn't been with a woman before. I don't understand this notion of "Because it's a man's job". I am assuming that since it involves a certain amount of labor, it's a mans job. I don't understand that. If a woman is strong enough to do the job and she wants to do it, let her. Also, some jobs are "a women's job". I guess it's because they involve household duties and the like. Again, if a man wants to do it, let him. If we stick to the ideas of "A man's job and a woman's job", we force ourselves to make those obligated to do a job that some else can do. "I don't want to watch the kids, you're the woman you do it!"...."You mow the yard, it's too hard for me". I've seen women mow the yard and men cook, that isn't a bad thing. We shouldn't force others to do a job because it's geared towards a gender. Also, if we force someone to do the job of their sex, we force ourselves to do a job because of our gender. "If I fix your pipes, will you make me food"?....."If I fix your car, will you give me some?". That idea is antiquated (at least in my 3 cent brain), and kind of dumb.

In the same arena as jobs, we have this notion that we can't hit women. The idea behind it is that women are weaker than men. There is some truth to that notion, but I don't think that it's the main issue. I believe that this notion of not hitting women is less about strength and more about bullying. People larger than other who hit other smaller are viewed as bullies. When a person hits a "weaker" person, it's the first person saying "I can do this because I am stronger than you." If both people were the same gender, we would think of it as bulling, if it opposite gender, it's wrong on a different level. Then we go into the issue of domestic violence. We also hate the man who hits the women, but we are looking at the issue for the wrong perspective. Instead of us looking it as a "Man hitting a women and that's wrong" we should look at it as "A man is viewing his significant other as an object". When a man hit his S/O, he is saying "I can do this because you're not a person, you're my property" That is why he gets away with it. Maybe if we stop looking at it as a "Man hitting a women" and start looking at is as "She's my property" we can help the man more. A man going to jail for hitting a women doesn't help him, getting a man into counseling, we can do more good.

Maybe that is how I see the world. Then again, I'm a moron, what do I know.
