Love this bit at the end
And the thing is, women can leave relationships now. I’d bet my paltry superannuation account that the cohort of men out there who blame anything from feminism (you're welcome) to the family court for the breakdown of their relationships have never once bothered to ask themselves if their partner left and took the kids because they were just bloody sick of living with an incompetent loser who couldn’t even put his dirty clothes in a hamper let alone wash them himself
In my experience, it's always the men who are the most entitled and feel they should do the least housework / childcare who feel the most like victims if the women they are partnered with demand a bit more respect / slightly more even divide of labour / leave them because they won't step up.
I suspect these statistics also hide another factor - when speaking with my female friends it's pretty clear that some of them do have genuine life partners who share all the work equitably and don't behave like whiny children when expected to clear their own dishes from the table. So, for those with man-children as partners, the division of labour is likely to be skewed much more towards the woman doing all the work in the home (whether or not she works outside the home too). So funny that these type of men tend to make a huge song and dance if they do one single tiny piece of housework too.
Just been speaking to a dear friend about this and I'm very depressed. She deserves a lot better and, as far as I can see, her H doesn't care if she kills herself with overwork as long as he's comfortable. It's depressing. Otherwise intelligent men who can't seem to see what it takes to run a house / raise children properly, and are perfectly happy to treat their wives as servants or (if the wife won't behave like a servant) as the cause of all their unhappiness.
