Should men do more housework? | The Context | ABC News

[@simonolsen9995]

If you're still asking what gender should do how much of whatever you've missed the point.

[@takemasu45]

Seriously abc dropping the ball on reporting. What is this rubbish

Men shouldn't 'help' with housework men and women should help each other with housework. Assuming both of them spend similar time in jobs then housework is a joint responsibility.

[@A.I.-]

The bread winner should be able to rest. If the Husband is the bread winner, then the wife should do housework. If the Wife is the bread winner, then the husband should do housework. If both have same income, then equal housework between the two. Plenty of people don't know how to pull their own weight and simply lazy (both men and women). If you're partner is doing the heavy lifting (bigger provision/money), then you do the housework (men or women).

[@sheavague7058]

What if they're legs are broken or they have a degenerative disease? Or if the breadwinner is a terrorist? Lots of variables you haven't thought of.

@@sheavague7058 The tone of the conversation is obviously about General married population, not about outliers.

[@fcukugimmeausername]

Women do more housework because the men are out there BUILDING THE ENTIRE CITY.

[@adamabbas8876]

Whoever has the time should do it. It depends on who is working and who isn't. I used to work 70 hours a week, and my wife stayed at home. It was kinda hard to get home at 9pm and then be expected to do all the dishes from the day.

[@allaboutstupid2228]

No, my cat should.

[@bign1667]

[@user-fed-yum]

I pay a man to come and clean my home. It's one my favourite things, observing that a male is actually able to do housework.

[@sheavague7058]

Migrant though? The question should be 'should non-migrants do a share of the housework?'

[@fcukugimmeausername]

You know he probably built that house though.

[@organicod2438]

What a sexist question to pose

[@anonymousthinker101]

Boys are often self entitled because mum is often doing stuff for them at home. If dad isnt being a role model helping mum at home, what do expect this young child would behave as an adult.

[@sheavague7058]

Why is mum doing stuff for them? What sort of role model is that?

[@knightrider6473]

Yeah and women are often self entitled thinking the man has to fix the car, mow the lawn, do house repairs etc. Equal rights go both ways.

[@JohnSmithNYC]

Dad is an excellent role model by working everyday to provide a home and food for his family.

[@CatsandJP]

Well …..absolutely it’s called being independent!

[@Rubibi-saltwaterjim]

What's the hell has happened to journalism, my future wife is bloody great at getting the lawn mower started and knows how to start the 2 stroke stuff now as well.

[@amandab2337]

I think the husband should work and provide for the family financially, while the wife stays home and looks after the kids and house 🙂

[@rhentertainment3941]

Women who run their own businesses generate 10% more revenue in five years than men do, according to Boston Consulting Group analysis. So maybe the men should stay home, don’t ya think.

Most men don't actually care about most of the housework women invent for themselves to do, so wouldn't bother doing it themselves.

But happy wife, happy life.

I just employ a maid. I don’t have a wife, so no risk of divorce, losing half my stash, so employing a maid is so much cheaper, and no grief.

Should the ABC sack staff that come up with these stupid telecasts ?… YES ! .. save the taxpayer’s money !

No. The end

[@sheavague7058]

Real men earn enough to pay a man to do it for them.

No. Signed, Men.

[@rhentertainment3941]

The 32 companies that have women as CEOs have significantly outperformed the companies run by men. Over the past 10 years, the difference in returns is 384% from female-led companies vs. 261% from male-led companies. So maybe men should do more house work, because women are working twice as hard at work, because we know we have to.

[@cheeser01]

link please?

[@potapotapotapotapotapota]

As is often said, you don't see any female bricklayers, carpenters, plumbers. Who could care less whether women or men are better. We are both different yet both human. Comparison is the thief of joy.

[@Ljcoleslaw]

I would happily trade them for my farmwork. Sadly, I don't have the privilege of only needing an low-paying, indoor, unskilled, safe job to have a loving family like women do.
