[quote=Anonymous]It seems like some people in this conversation just went to argue for the sake of arguing. 
The fact is everyone is able to determine what is beneficial to them and a good deal in life. 
The fact is that more and more women are viewing marriage as an opportunity deal. Especially true for women who are high earners or who are self-sufficient and don't see the men that they're dating is bringing anything to the table that they don't already have. 
If men don't like that, they can either step up their game to show that they do have something to offer that is worthwhile or sit down and shut up and find someone who wants what you're selling. 
Most men still do not do half of household tasks even though both partners work outside the house. Now I'm not going to get into the weeds and say well if he works an hour more in the office each week. She should do an hour more of housework each week because that's for each individual. Couple to decide. But the fact remains that if you pulled most women in marriages and asked what the division of labor is in their house and if it is equitable not equal but equitable they would say no that they do the lion's share. Further, if you get a neutral third party to look at the amount of mental and physical labor each person provides in the household, I am certain that women will be still carrying the bulk share.

Now my husband does plenty to help out but there is no way he's at 50% of household tasks. He possibly got close before we had kids but after kids we're looking at around 25% overall. Now right now that works for us because my job is more flexible and I'm able to work 30 hours a week. This division works for our family for now, but if I were to get a different job and we're working 40 hours a week, I can tell you that his 25% would not be near good enough.
