But men just sit and take it like the Heros they are.

Nonsense, but it isn't like that because men work, go into higher paying fields, work in more dangerous jobs that pay more. Men come up worse in virtually every "bad thing" that can happen categories yet no ribbons, marches. Why they are too busy making things happen and do not have the same love for complaining women do.

Look at actresses in the UK. There are many, many relatively normal looking women. In the US you must be a sex goddess.

This, and just in the recent decade it has permeated into the MILF and Cougars. Women are now more than EVER expected to be "sex kittens" well into middle age. However, we women do it to ourselves. One only needs to look at Instagram and the culture of female selfie narcissism to see exactly how and why we are moving backwards. We objectify ourselves and then cry boo-hoo when men no longer know how to act around us. So many mixed message.

I think women need to take a hard look in the mirror to find the answers.

My god what is with some women and this anti-attractive obsession. Is it an excuse for not being as successful as you had hoped or fat women jealous? Really, I dont get it. Women in the US do not put in anywhere near the effort in their appearance of women in other most Europe or Latin American, not even close. Stop making excuses and focus on high earning fields.

Why is it considered "equality in retreat" if a woman wants to stay home with her kids? My wife was raised by a single professional woman and had a successful professional career herself. And now she is out of the workforce, as a stay at home parent. That hardly puts her in retreat or gender inequality.

Not surprised that you're a man who believes in 'natural and biological proclivity'. Male chauvinist pig.

I agree with this, although not every women steps out of the workforce by choice. But it is true that many people saw what the rat race was doing to themselves and their families and chose a different way to live that was better for them. The inequity is that no everyone has this option. But when two working professionals make a mutual choice for their family to drop to one income, I think that it is unsound to suggest that this is gender inequity.

I would never SAHM because my husband would only further check-out of his family duties. All the household stuff I do is already taken for granted by him so why on earth would I ditch my career for that unappreciativeness? Thank goodness we only have daughters and they started seeing right through him when each was 4 yo — when he couldn’t even hold a conversation w them w o looking at his work iPhone or keeping track of anything they said. So sad.

I'm the mother, and I have a demanding career. My husband has a less demanding career, so he's the default parent. Our children (boys) are being raised in a home where they are expected to clean up after themselves. They know how to cook. They know how to do laundry and put clothes away. They help with yard work.

Most importantly: they know I'm not the maid. And they know that we don't have a maid, so we're all responsible for pitching in to maintain the house.

Very good point. Appearance standards for young women are higher in the US now than they were 20-30 years ago. Young girls feel like they gave to look "perfect".

The world is changing!

I do know quite a few women though who complain about their lazy husbands, but raise lazy sons too. They just don't see the disconnect that they're raising someone's future lazy husband.

I do know quite a few women though who complain about their lazy husbands not realizing they are complaining about things no one else cares about. They spend time doing things no else cares about act like martyrs. They just don't realize this insisting other people should be doing stuff only they want done someone's else's nagging wife.


On a serious note, this "lazyhusband" stuff is simply stupid. Has it occured to you you may really do a lot things only you care about then play martyr. Most women complaining are full of crap.

Kids’ doctor appts, dentist appts, clothes that fit, insurance renewed, taxes paid, vacations booked, rats/mice not eating crumbs in the house, camps/school enrolled. Bdays parties attended w a present, bed made, clothes cleaned, cars maintained, winter coats bought, too small clothes/shoes boxed up, etc.
all those stupid details your mom did for you and your misogynistic father, that you like to claim never matter. Keep it up and you will be divorced, or are you already?

Home (to keep free of crumbs), food, lights, heat, air conditioning, doctors appts, dentist appts, clothes, insurance, taxes paid, vacations booked, schools, bday parties attended w/ gifts, a bed, a machine to wash your clothes, a car, winter coats, ....all those things your stupid father paid for you and your lazy ass mother by a lazy man. Keep up being ungrateful and complaining about men and you will be divorced, or all you all ready and that's why you are so bitter.

Typical idiot DCUM throws out names like misogynist (and at someone not even involved....you get two retard stars), pretending the world revolves around stereo typical house work while pretending the work outside the home that actually make it possible is nothing. Who said those things "never mattered"? Do you think possible a woman may do things that simply because she and only her want done?

By the way, I dont know about your household but a real man maintains his car he doesn't have his wife take it to someone else and all of those things. YOu must have had some real weak lazy male roll models. Cheer up most of us can and do do everything you do.
