From Asymmetrical Information:

When women claim that “men do less of the housework”, I yawn. Your house isn’t shared by “men”; it’s shared by a husband. It is your job to first, pick a husband who isn’t a selfish jerk, and then second, explain to him that he needs to do more of the housework. His unwillingness to wash dishes or mop the floor isn’t because he’s getting secret orders from the patriarchy; it’s because these things are unpleasant, and we all like to avoid unpleasant activities, and your husband doesn’t care about clean floors as much as you do. The art of setting priorities and evenly dividing unpleasant tasks between family members cannot be outsourced to society.

Yes yes yesyesyes. My wife and I divide up the unpleasant tasks based on who is more grossed out. I do all the blood / feces / vomit / nasty-thing-in-the-fridge-that-I-think-used-to-be-chicken-or-maybe-it-was-pasta. She does spiders. Does she do more housework than I do? You bet–because she’s home more time than I am, and she has more opportunity than I do. Do I do “my share”? You bet. Anyone who whines “men do less housework” is a twit with assertiveness problems. Want your husband to do more around the house? Freakin’ ASK HIM.
