You must not be a woman.

As stated, I am married. I love my husband, but he doesn't work nearly as much as I do at home. And I know a lot of women and all of them say the same things. Most of our husbands do a lot of leisure (playing on phones, video games, watching movies, golfing, basketball, etc.) activities and not a lot of housework. I don't have time to do any of those things every day or even once a week.

Deal with what?

Each individual can decide what they want in a relationship. Giving men "tips" on cleaning is absurd.

I didnt read the link. Just agree women generally do most of the domestic and child care and are the ones who opt. to sacrifice career for flexible hours to do so.

Women should deal with the extra chores and career hit if that is what they chose to do. Don't have kids if you aren't willing to do what it takes career wise, either have outside help or know your husband will pull his weight or be prepared to take a career hit. Its not like you have to.
This is an area men and women are still working on. IMO it is changing where parenting and overall family responsibilities are becoming more shared and equal. These arrangements are personal and diverse among couples.

If you're open and honest with what you want then these issues don't come up. It really is that simple.

If you are ever in a situation where you need the police make sure you let them know you don't need any assistance from a woman dressed in a cop uniform.

And BTW cops dont do long term fighting. Thats why they shoot perps. Firearm, the great equalizer.
I suggest you take your own bizarre advice, not interested

And Cops surely do participate in long term fighting. Criminals do not honor stop watches!

Basically. I wouldn't say anything is that simple especially in relationships. People are often not what the appear to be and often dont do as they say or often they just change but this is not a feminist or equality issue.
No one has to get married or have kids or stay in a marriage they are not happy with.

I'm not the one who claims they don't want help from female officers. Or a woman dressed in a police uniform as you refer to them.

Well, what I see officers usually take down a perp pretty quick. The longer they struggle the higher chances their life may be in danger so.

Yes agreed.

I'm a neat freak. My ex-girlfriends have all commented that I take over any communal chores because it's just how I roll. And they've all pretty much agreed that they can't clean or cook as well as me. Most of them have made more money than me too.

You sound like quite a catch.
