...most men would never submit to such a task either lest they be thought of as unmanly, sissy or a henpecked husband.

A real man who is comfortable in his masculinity doesn't let such petty considerations stop him from fixing his own clothes.

Now, if said 'real man' is married, he'll more than likely get his wife to do that for him, but he also takes chores off her plate that he's better suited to.

I agree. I actually consider a man "unmanly" who can't take care of himself and requires a woman (usually a wife or mother) to take care of him.

Nothing more pathetic than a man sitting on the couch in his underwear eating a bowl of cereal because he can't fix a decent meal for himself or work the laundry to wash his clothes.
