Honestly never seen this type of shit off the internet. In a healthy relationship, both people just do what they can. I hate cleaning, but love cooking. My partner hates cooking, but loves cleaning- neither of us really does more than the other

Like i suppose but if i think ab the broader historical gender dynamics i can see her perspective. Often when i see irl examples of double standards like this it comes from experience. Not that it makes it okay but i dont think its unfounded yk

Not 100% true but I’ve found many of the hypnotic catchphrases marketed to women did cause many of my exes to discount the work I was doing outside our “house”. I recently said to my sister (she’s married to a marine and was like “he rarely ever does the dishes because he’s tired” -paraphrased) “If you want an even split of the physical labor you’re going to have to sleep in a tent a couple days a week” (he’s off on a training exercise sleeping in a tent in the woods most of the week)

Yea def true

from what i've seen. this really only refers to stay at home moms. when it comes down to it- in a modern household- both partners are working full time jobs. so when it comes to chores and stuff both partners have to pitch in equally. in my experience tho, i've had to teach men how to properly pick up after themselves and at that point it's like- wtf dude?

There are a LOT of double standards that favor women that no one cares about

I guess but it’s usually cause the woman doesn’t do a proportional amount of chores

Both stances are fucking dumb. Household chores are for people who want a functional home, and the pay is having a functional home. Cooking is for people who want to eat. Washing dishes is for people who don’t want to eat off of dirty dishes. Doing laundry is for people who want to wear clothes that don’t stink.
