OR they are sitting back reading the posts and imagining women on their knees in short skirts and fish nets cleaning the floor, their face dewey from the sweat and hair slightly messy. Chanting yeah, that's it....clean those floors....scrub hard, harder!
Use some basketball or soccer kneepads (or carpet layer). They will protect your beautiful knees darlin'.
They are reading, just afraid to say what they really think and want not to **** off the women.
I can only think of one male poster who wouldn't be afraid to **** off the women, unfortunately he no longer comes around.
Ha-ha, the boys are predictable - the dare worked!
You keep going to the same argument: woman/man comparison.
I still stand by the same argument, which was the original argument on this thread: If you love your man, you would WANT to satisfy him not just sexually and emotionally, but with other skills too. If a man appreciates you making him dinner, it is so rewarding. I'm not saying it has to be her primary responsibility, but I'm telling you, men really do enjoy having a woman by their side that can do basic housekeeping things.
And again, for the fifteenth time, I'm not saying that only has to be her, it has to be a collective effort. It's the attitude of "I don't want to do it, period" is what bothers me.
One of my favorite posters repped me saying that they did take "lazy" to the whole other level here. I tend to agree.
Nobody wants to do it. But expecting that the woman does it just because she is a woman is what is getting everyone up in arms.
Of course the guy doesn't care as much if the house is messy/dirty (though my 69 year-old dad does, and he's old school - he loves to clean the kitchen so much that you could put your drink down to scratch your nose and your glass will disappear!)
Of course the guy doesn't care because everyone's opinion will be directed towards the woman. "What a messy house SHE keeps." Doesn't matter that they're both out all day working. When it comes to how the house is kept, people will assume the worst about the woman.
And then there's the infamous learned helplessness where the guy does a totally crappy job so he'll never be asked to do it again and so that he can pull out the old chestnut "If you don't like the way I do it, do it yourself." It's freakin' genius. You have to give that to them.
Now why are you generalizing? In my last relationship ( keep in mind we were married ), I was the only one who worked. Oh and I worked full-time too...and went to school full-time. I got home and I still had to cook and clean! And he only did his laundry.
I guess I am extremely lazy!
I'll one up you. When I was in medical school and working 100+ hours a week away from the house (and staying awake 36 hours at a time), I roomed with my brother for a year and I STILL DID ALMOST ALL THE WORK. As did most of my female classmates who lived with their boyfriends and husbands who had 9 to 5 jobs and better things to do in the evening than keep their household clean, grocery shop, etc. It was absolutely eye-opening and insane.
The breaking point for me is when I came home from a 24 hour shift and my brother informed me that the toilet was broken and what was I going to do about it. I came awful close to fratricide...
He did do his own laundry. I'll give him that.
