Philosophers seeking to answer questions around inequality in household labour and the invisibility of women's work in the home have proposed a new theory -- that men and women are trained by society to see different possibilities for action in the same domestic environment.
They say a view called "affordance theory" -- that we experience objects and situations as having actions implicitly attached -- underwrites the age-old gender disparity when it comes to the myriad mundane tasks of daily home maintenance.
For example, women may look at a surface and see an implied action -- 'to be wiped' -- whereas men may just observe a crumb-covered countertop.
The philosophers believe these deep-seated gender divides in domestic perception can be altered through societal interventions such as extended paternal leave, which will encourage men to build up mental associations for household tasks.

What woman? I kill bugs, my cats kill bugs, what’s the problem?
Merry Christmas, fellow man. :)
Gee, maybe societal interventions can fix that...
How moronic this headline is. Any woman needing doing IS a domestic task.
‘Just pick what you Don’t want in That Catalog!”

Me to my ex wife 🤪.
Do you have dinner plate sized spiders where you are?
We don’t like the part where the squishy innards pop out. Ewww!!!
Also, we like our men to be our heroes and squish those big hairy scary bugs for us. It’s a turn-on. You guys should just enjoy basking in our adulation after killing bugs for us. Beats having to clobber a cave bear or saber-toothed tiger!
The basic premise, like all the modern gynocentric premises, is that men are always the problem. If women are also shown to be a problem, they then go ahead and blame men for making them the problem.
My wife, the number of girl friends I’ve had when I was younger, my kid sisters when we were growing up, nurses in the ER I work in when flies come into the place during summer, my sisters-in-law , female class mates when I was going to school.
Those women.
Misadry is encouraged and celebrated. Misogyny is jailable hate speech.
We could not give any presents at all. How about that?
Are they bugs large enough to feed a family of four?
I mean... I have a crossbow ;)
Marriage counseling is a scam. Men are made to pay for a fight-friend for the wife.
Not anymore they don’t.
Women know that their traditional work and chores arent that hard compared to mens work and chores. Its also been shown that when women browbeat and see men doing womens chores, they lose respect for the men, and find it contemptible.
This survey will be included in a future omnibus spending bill. It will cost the U.S. taxpayer millions of dollars.
