Sex Roles and Household Chores
The truth about household jobs and gender
By Jonathan Small

At some point in my marriage — not exactly sure when or why, really — I became the designated spider killer. And fly swatter. And roach squasher. In fact, if any insect makes the unfortunate decision to wander into our home, it's my responsibility to promptly terminate it. My wife, Diana, will stand in the kitchen inches away from a bug and still call me from across the house to come deal with it. Is it annoying? Sometimes, yes. But, then again, she has her own set of responsibilities, like shopping for the insect repellent and flyswatter.

Hey if women wanna dress up for their sex roles while doing the household chores I'm ok with that. Just make sure the kids are already asleep.

The one staying home should do most home-associated chores. But here's the thing - assigning 'chores' to the couple is stupid. BOTH should be man and/or woman enough to do what it takes.

gawd, got me all interested with a thread about 'sex roles' only to then find out it's about washing dishes

On topic, both should share.
