The sexual politics of household chores

One writer reenacts a day in the life of a 1950s housewife. Meanwhile, will doing the dishes get men laid?

    In Response...

    OK, I admit, I did let the situation get out of control, but I have a choice to do the damn chores or listen to hubby whine about having to do them. Either I'm resentful or he is. BTW, he doesn't do "man" chores, such as taking out the trash or fixing the running toilet, either.

    I could care less if he whacks off all day to the internet because quite frankly, I am too tired to even think straight at the end of the day. Thank GOD we don't have kids!
