DIFFERENT OPINIONS

Opinions that want men to do more housework than what they do now：

• Sharing household chores fosters closeness between husband and wife, which results in a happier & stronger marriage.
• Couples with an equal sharing of the housework can produce more stability in their marriage and less conflict or resentment.
• Men also benefit from equal partnership because they can get more openness from their wives and they can feel relaxed about their relationship and reduce stress.
• In case his wife (partner) isn’t around or falls sick in bed, if the man (her husband) has been used to doing the housework, he can pitch in and take over the control without turning the house into a disaster.
• It’s best that both men and women do the housework.
• If the man can do household chores, he will have a much happier and healthier and more satisfied wife (girlfriend).
• She will love him more and complain a lot less and they’ll have more quality time.
• The more men do around the house, the happier their wives are, and the happier women are, the more they want to co-operate and help their spouses.
• Analysts say that the happier the women are, the more they want to have sex with their husbands and that’s the proof that men’s sharing the housework will bond the marital relationship.
• The more they share the housework, the more they can communicate with each other and feel emotional intimacy and equal partnership.
• Wives are happier when their men appreciate them for the work they do at home and they are less angry or depressed.

Opinions that disagree with the ideas above:

• We men should not be made to do household chores like cooking, cleaning, laundry, dishes or taking care of babies because when it snows, we shovel it off the sidewalk and we mow the lawn and when there’s something that needs fixing, we fix it.
• If the woman stays at home while the man goes out to work, then the woman’s job should be at home.
• Either I work to support the family and my wife does the housework or I do the housework and she goes out to work to support us.
• Men are conditioned to work outside and bring home a paycheck and women are to be at home and do housework.
• My wife says she’s happy to take care of our kids and family and household chores.
• Because she says I am supposed to work outside and bring home all the money we need.
• My wife has been “a stay at home mother” all of our marriage. She’s managed to home-school both of our kids for 10 years. She does laundry and cook, and iron my clothes when I work at the office and she’s totally satisfied & quite happy about it.
• Hey, we men are strong. We work outside and earn money. You women should stay home and cook and clean and take care of children.
• “I have a dream that one day our world will rise up and live out the true meaning of the both sexes, and we are going to hold the truth firmly that men and women are created equal.”
• “I have a dream that my daughters will one day be married to the men who will do exactly 50% of the household chores without complaining at all if they both go out and work evenly, or not necessarily 50% but the fair share of the housework as long as their partners approve it and are satisfied,”
• “I have a dream that men and women will one day walk hand in hand in the “Sumo Ring” in the glory of freedom and justice.”
