Ok. I will give in to "gender based roles", as long as it is a fair thing.
I am a newlywed, so this is a bit new to me. My wife expects me to spend 3 to 5 hours a week taking care of the yard and maintaining the outdoor stuff because she says that she can't do it, and she basically refuses to learn.
So is it sexist of me to demand that she do the dishes? She had me put up all of the Christmas lights outside, which was an all day thing. Can I ask her to put up the entire Christmas tree?
It seems that, in the younger generation, women are wanting equality in marriage (which is great and I am all for), but they are still wanting their men to do all of the "manly things", but they will get pissed if you asked them to do the vacuuming.
What is fair here? Why do I have to put out more work. We don't have kids. But I do half of the indoor chores as well as all of the outdoor chores.
