Wait...so if the women are outside the home working, and according to you they’re working to avoid housework (I’ve officially heard it all now with that one), why can’t the men who are home - and not working - pick up the slack with washing dishes and cleaning the house?
Oh please! Stop talking rationally.
And why can’t the spousal unit work in tandem wrt housework when both work outside the home?
I was a SAHM for many years so the house stuff was my area. Once I went back to work, it seemed like it stayed my area, lol. My husband does a ton and seems like a whole lot more than what my friends and acquaintances husbands do...

They can, but it’s difficult for a man to find a partner to support them financially in exchange for doing that kind of work.
I retired years ago. I still do some part time work because people keeping calling me. However, I'm more than happy to do most of the housework, cooking, shopping, etc. while my wife works long hours as a nurse.
