Let me get this straight
When women do housework, dressed in high heels and garters, no less, men don't find it sexy. Men don't like their partners to be subservient.
BUT when men do housework, women find that sexy. Women must like their partners to be subservient.
Jeez, guys, what is this, a custom made post for Brightstar, or what?
The contradictions are glaring, and I think the base assertion is stupid. I start to believe in a femi-nazi agenda when I read this stuff.
Women: housework is not sexy, relax on the couch. Men: housework makes you sexy, get to work.
Fucking dumb.
It is easy to mischaracterize something when the underlying trajectories (there is a better word for this I am sure) are ignored.
The two sexes feel closer automatically when one picks up a few of the other gender's supposedly stereotypical tasks. As someone said, she snowblows, he does dishes, it is all good.
As for whether it gets more sex, it just gets more enthusiastic sex, I am guessing. And then only in the introductory stages of a relationship, but I may be wrong on this point.
I am just shocked that women seem to live in their little vacuum, totally separated from reality when they suddenly act shocked, sideswiped by the news, that guys to not want a female servant for a wife.
That is so pathetic, because any conversation, were women to just listen to men for once, would tell you most men find that arrangement bilious. It just underscores that WOMEN DO NOT EVER REALLY HEAR WHAT MEN SAY, preferring their own internal reality model, as completely backwards and irresponsible, and disrespectful, as it is.
No wonder the sexes seem to far apart...
