[quote=Anonymous]Isn't the whole goal of men (or most men) to work their way up the corporate ladder so that everyone else is doing the work and they are getting paid big bucks to do very little or something they enjoy like business travel? It's the same in marriage. Men want to sit around feeling entitled to having their meals cooked, housed cleaned, and kids taken care of without them having to do a whole lot.  Look at Thanksgiving, for instance. Football games are coincidentally on while women are the ones slaving in the kitchen.  I agree with the PPs that you can't force people to do what they don't want to do. Their whole goal is to not have to do stuff that they should and they don't care if it's right or wrong. It's not like there is an abundant supply of cooperative men that help out, so you can't blame it on women choosing badly.  Even if women are better at emotional tasks, the least the husbands could do is appreciate it. Some men will never do that because it would be putting their wives in a one up position. [/quote]
