Propaganda for social engineering works best when there is an element of truth to sugar-coat it. That doesn’t make it any less social engineering propaganda.

First off, anyone who has served a hitch in the military ought to know that a squared-away area is the product of an ordered mind, so at the very least, your average troop should be of the mind to refuse to live like a pig.

That being said, it has been the purpose and practice of the Left to feminize menfolk, starting at an early age, so as to make them less suitable to serve as staunch soldiers — both in the defense and less aggressive in the attack.

What if they had a war and nobody came?

I would look closely at who funded and carried out this study and see if it was just yet another piece of Leftist propaganda — this time using the primal urge of sex to help it along.

Didn’t work for me. Anyway I think that most wives would rather see their hubbies busy with manly things and not get in the way of their household work.

This is why I don’t wash the dishes or fold the clothes while the kids are still up.

I figure an hour at work is worth and hour of housework which is worth an hour of running the kids around which is worth an hour of working around the yard.

If your wife is a woman who thinks herself as a higher rank of person more capable of doing the dishes than I will say that doing a share of the housework will innately please her.

The question is, what kind of wife do you prefer?
Unassertive and eager to please?
Or a soulmate?

…looks like we’re doing the dishes you virtuous men.

Haggling over the price?

Yep. We just count the man’s contribution as zero; very convenient.

The 800-pound gorilla in this room is the unspoken fact that the woman generally considers the house her “territory”, even if the man pays for everything. I would imagine that women who treat their men like “wallets” or “cash cows” don’t have very helpful husbands. What goes around comes around; that door swings both ways.

in the long run if you tally the equation of a relationship, most will discover it’s exceptionally
balanced.

The recipe for a happy marriage.

So one’s ‘reward’ for doing more work is that they ‘get’ to sleep with the same woman (their wife) for the 10,000 time?

Common sense reason #694 why I’m still single…

(Happily shuffles past messy room on the way out to meet new gals with whom to have brief non-housework-related encounters)

Anna: My objection was to the unstated position in the article that marriage is some sort of quid pro quo business deal, with sex being a bargaining chip. I think that’s demeaning to both the husband and the wife.

a compromising act with the cleaner,

LOL.. I think that is considered more than making out.
Ewww gross … is right though

108, the first thing I get for taking out the trash is a house without festering trash in it. Isn’t that enough? If that were not enough, I also make sure that my family doesn’t get sick from festering trash.

You only have those two choices? You have my sympathy.
I’m not the one who made an equivalence between the man doing housework and him getting sex; the article did. I just called it what it is. I hope you don’t have that kind of relationship; no man deserves that.

Where the hell is that f#$@ing vacuum?

LOL.. Wing Chun Geologist Right here?

I will have to agree, robert108. Although, I am not sure if I am agreeing with your specifics, I believe in the concept of it works both ways. Even though it may not always seem fair .. in the long run if you tally the equation of a relationship, most will discover it’s exceptionally balanced.

Anna…can’t you let a fella forget his embarassing mistakes.
