The Mumsnet comment about women being taken advantage of by lazy men

I've seen it on some AIBU or Relationships threads but I can't find it (and I really need to send it to someone!).

It's along the lines of men who refuse to step up domestically are abusing their partners, making them work for them because their prioritise their own pleasure/leisure/wants ahead of domestic chores and childcare.

Does this ring a bell? Can anyone help? Thanks Smile

Do you mean cocklodger?

@Honeypickle no, not that one, but I do love that. It was a post written by Mumsnet in the body of a thread and it was a brilliant rant about when men force women to pick up after them / do all the childcare it's abuse.

@FlibbertyGiblets not specifically cocklodgers, all behaviour that meant women's time, feelings, resources etc. were abused by men, sometimes thoughtlessly or carelessly.

There's a long running thread (which I haven't read) but it might have what you are after:
