Anyone else find it really sad that this is still a bragging point among women?

Shouldnt it just be a..."ya no duh..dont they all?"
61% of american households are dual income now. (so man's out working is mute point)

and this is very much a bragging right among, young(20-30's) american women...if it's standard..why brag? why would other women think oohh I wish?
No one brags about being the norm or being common.
 
Oh please, that 61% statistic is probably made up. I've read your responses to other questions and you spew around statistics like they're nothing....

Did you know that 70% of statistics are made up on the spot?

If you can't post a link to the "study" that got this number, I will have a very hard time believing you.

It's also very obvious that you have a negative view on men, and are sexist.
 
I don't do crap around the house. Instead, I sing this motivation song to her:

'Take out the papers and the trash
or you won't get no spending cash
if you don't scrub that kitchen floor
you won't be sucking Gazzy's co*k no more
yakety-yak
KFC is wack!'
 
I don't see a problem bragging ABOUT that. But why brag in the first place?

[Edit: Just for the record, I am nobody's man but if I were I would have no problem doing all of the things you mention. I actually enjoy doing laundry and dishes and I think being a responsible parent is just that, a responsibility. And if "my woman" ever bragged about this I would actually find it insulting. Imagine me bragging about how logical and even-tempered my woman was. And she can even pitch a tent and light her own campfire. Ain't she amazing???]
 
I don't ever ask my husband to help with cooking/cleaning.
Me and the kids do that, I work 4 hours a day, he works 10...seems like a fair trade. Thumbs down me all you want, if the roles were reversed (and they were once) he never asked me to help out around the house either. That's just the way we roll..

As for "helping with the kids"...... Hello? They're his kids, too.
That's not "helping with the kids" that's...umm...what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah........PARENTING!!
 
What if the guy makes all the money too?

Should he do absolutely everything while american feminist gets obese sitting on the couch eating bonbons?

Edit--Thank goodness I'm single so I don't have to make all the money plus clean up after some feminist slob when I get home. Life is great!!
 
Eh, it's generational to some extent. How old are you and your husband? I'm 51, my husband a few yrs older, and he never changed a diaper in his life, though our kids are grown. Cook? Yeah, he'll make himself a can of soup it I'm out but not much else. Did I give a damn? Nah, he's still a keeper.
 
My husband is a wonderful man, a great father and he cooks like a dream. If he starts doing housework, I throw a fit. For one thing, that is MY domain. For another, I prefer doing it my way and he doesn't do it my way. And finally, there is nothing wrong with a traditional division of labour within a family. I take great pride in my homemaking skills.

When he asks what he can to to help, my response is generally "stay the hell out of my way". Funny enough, he feels the same in the garage.
 
If the husband is working full time outside of the home, and the wife is not working full time or is a stay at home mother, I dont believe the person working outside the home all day should have to help with tasks that should be completed by the person doing less outside the home.

A loving husband does not have to be asked to help, he will see where his wife is stressed and he will help out. However if she is a lazy excuse maker who doesnt seem to find the time to get anything done yet nags about how she needs help, then I suspect the husband would be less willing to help.
 
Well, men for the most part DO help around the house splitting the house work. It is idiots like YOU that perpetuate the MYTH that men don't do anything around the house ( not doing anything around the house like several of the live in girl friends I had to kick to the curb because they wouldn't do anything INCLUDING bringing in a paycheck)

This is what we do know: I feel extremely LUCKY that I don't have to see YOU when I come home from work %itching about pulling down an EXACT 50/50 split on everything. That's not what marriage is all about anyway. Now is that common enough for ya?

In response to RoVale: Where do you come from saying who works hard and who doesn't? Women work extremely hard but no more nor less than the whole of the population. It is asinine to state anything otherwise.
