If you're physically capable of mopping the kitchen floor but you expect your wife to do it because she's a woman, then you're gender stereotyping.

That can't be answered without more information.
Do you think it is her biological duty to mop? Then, yes, that is sexist.
Do you expect her to mop because you two have agreed it is her responsibility? Then no, it is not sexist.

Unless she puts in a 40 hr week to help you make the living then get busy and MOP

No you're not a sexist. But if you think telling your wife to do anything is gonna get you any "special treatment" then you're just ignorant and naive. I know my wife (and yours) thinks the same.

Why would "You" expect "Her" to mop "the kitchen floor"? That alone sounds "sexist".

I make your wife mop my kitchen floor too. In the nude!

Why would you EXPECT her to do this, anyone of you could do it. If you think that SHE should be the one to do this then you do not see her as your equal partner.

You and your wife should decide on a division of chores that satisfies each of you.
Good luck
