[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nonsense.  My husband does an equal amount, more in some aspects.  This is just another way of holding women to domestic jobs.

+1. I married a feminist man who does his fair share around the house - laundry, vacuuming, grocery shopping, general cleaning, making lunches and picking up when possible. My brother is the one who took care of both aging parents. Women, this narrative persists as long as we marry the fools who won't help out! Teach your sons to do their part![/quote]

Glaringly strange in this comment how it's not your feminist husband's job to teach the sons to do their part.[/quote]

Yes, and this poster blames women for not being wise enough to choose men who would help out with unpaid domestic labor after they're married.  So doing all the unpaid domestic labor is not just something women are stuck doing by default, but it's also their fault that it's that way and the men are once again given a pass.  [/quote]

You're kind of dense.  Stop giving men a pass.  That's the answer.  If you weren't wise enough to choose a man who would help out with unpaid domestic labor then be wise enough to change things and make them help.  Otherwise, stop complaining.[/quote]
