having and raising babies
having full time jobs
cooking

Work Men Do
have full time jobs
sit on their ass when they get home
watch TV
expect to be waited on hand and foot.

This was my experience in a straight relationship. It was how my dad treated my mom. I know gay/lesbian relationships are different,and I feel it is much more egalitarian. She still makes more than I do, but doesn't feel that because of that fact that she has the right to hold it over my head and expect special treatment.
I think that's changing though... responsibility is being divided.

For the most part, I think that's just about right though... and it's horrifying!
