I agree with what some women have to say here. If a woman is a housewife, and the husband earns money, then the woman should clean the house.
A woman can't have the attitude, that on one hand she doesn't want to earn money and on the other she finds shame in being a housewife.
I feel sad at the mentality of feminists.
There is no shame in cooking and cleaning in your own home. It is a womanly duty. A good woman shouldn't even ask her husband to do this. If a woman finds shame in household chores, then how can she expect the man to be open-minded?
Even if I end up being a working woman in the future, I will happily cook and clean the house because I don't have any ego or negative mentality or arrogance like most feminists today. A lot of women are lazy and arrogant and they use feminism to get away with chores.
There are so many things that men do, that women don't. For example: even today there are more men in the army and in the construction industry, there are more men doing the dangerous work or the heavy work, like taking the heavy stock out of trucks, sacrificing animals. Yet, they never make this a gender issue.
I am a woman and I don't see any problem in traditional gender roles, what is up with people questioning every single thing in the name of feminism? I am fed up despite being a woman.
In the old days, women used to feel proud to take care of their homes, husbands and children and nowadays, they find shame in this.
Ali said, "a foolish woman treats her husband like a slave and becomes a slave's wife herself, and a wise woman treats her husband like a king and becomes a queen herself."
Tomorrow, women will say should the father change the nappies, and look after babies. You see god made women have certain skills and he gave men certain skills. God made traditional roles. God made men and women different, that is why men can walk without a shirt, and women can't. Even today, we see men drive trucks, cranes, they do bike stunts, and women should feel happy just being women, are they insecure of their own gender?
Women live easier lives than men, the housechores in the western countries are nothing compared to other places, and the household chores women had to do in the old days, and even today in villages. What about women who carry water on their heads, who don't have taps to wash the taps, they don't have washing machines, yet they don't complain, they cook in 45 degrees.
A housewife is not inferior to a working woman.
I think any grown adult should be capable and willing to clean their own home, whether it's a man or a woman. That's a basic thing that everyone should do. In the case of couples, I don't think the burden should fall on women to clean just because they are women. Household responsibilities should be shared or at the very least, the couple should do whatever works for their individual lifestyle.
For me, I work from home so I also tend to do most of the household chores as well since I'm here most of the day anyway. My partner works outside of the home but he does do certain household things too when he's not at work and he knows how to clean up after himself so it's not a problem for us.
Like I said, every couple should do what works best for them but no one should be "forced" to take on certain responsibilities just because of their gender.
No. Anyone and everyone who lives in that house should pull their own weight in some way. The whole point with being an adult is to be able to take care of yourself and your surroundings. That means picking up after yourself. Some couples will, of course, have a discussion about this and decide that only one person cleans. If they're ok with that and it works for them, then good for them. But cleaning is not inherently just one gender's "job", it's a life skill everyone benefits from. If I was with a guy who either didn't know how to clean, or refused to do it, I'd kick him the hell out. I'm not willing to be with a manchild who expects me to be his second mom.
I really only believe 16 year old girls with cat profile pics. should clean a couple's home.
Just kidding.
Who should do the cleaning depends a lot several issues.
1. Who is responsible for a particular mess?
2. How much time does the responsible party have to clean up after themselves?
3. Does one party work long and, especially, difficult hours?
4. Is it a mess which needs to be cleaned up right away or one which can wait for a several hours?
5. Is the mess very burdensome to the person having to clean it up, even if that person did not create the mess, or fairly easy to handle?
These issues and perhaps more need to be considered when it comes to trying to figure out a fair distribution of labor.
Consider this for example: If a woman's husband has a bad habit of leaving his underwear on the floor of the bathroom, that's a pretty inconsiderate husband. But if he at least puts his dirty laundry away, that he doesn't usually take the step of starting the laundry isn't necessarily proof of him being inconsiderate. He might not have time to stay and take care of the laundry, and it could be that the wife would not like how her husband handles the laundry.
If i had a wife/ girlfriend i would clean the house for her.

This is a dillweed question because of the modern times we live. Everything should be 50/50. If a man has or earns enough cash and the woman chooses to stay home, then that becomes her job. If she is out putting in the same amount of hours per week, then they should share house chores right? And I don't think the wages matter if the couple truly are a modern American couple. I know certain filthy cultures that treat women as 3rd class citizens. These filthy cultures don't have a place in my opinion. by the way, I refer to them as filthy because it takes a scumbag to think it's appropriate to hit and bully a woman.
I think it should be an equal 50/50 split between the couple. I also think, some people like that domestic stuff more then others. Like, my mom she actually loves cleaning the house and cooking, it makes her happy. She actually gets a little upset when she knows she hasn't gotten around to cleaning the house in awhile. My dad is also a clean fanatic because that's how he grew up, so he helps my mom out with certain things. Just like she helps him with yard work.
As for myself, I love doing all that cleaning stuff. It makes me happy and it's actually fun. Somethings are harder for me to do like dusting and vacuuming because I'm allergic to dust and everything but I still try to do it. My point is, it should be a joint effort but if one likes a certain chore more than the other person, then they could divide it that way.
You are 16, what friend do you have that's already married in an abusive relationship? Why are the choices to clean or "do what they want"? Feminism has ruined this country. If I bust my ass paying the bills, pay for dates, and I mow the yard, climb on the roof to put up Christmas lights, move heavy shit whenever she wants, kill spiders 24/7 when asked, handle plumbing, and perform various other "man jobs" because I'm expected to then he'll yes she is going to do indoor cleaning.
My g/f is working on her b. s. I told her she is more than welcome to continue to go to school but if she wants to make over 100k a year and spend more time at work than home then I'll stay home with kids and clean the house,... she said no to that, go figure. So yes, women should clean. Stop being a whiney millineal and pick a role and stick to it.
Oh wow, some of these opinions... no not solely a female "job." look there are many ways in which this shared duty of a household could end up. The important thing is you figure out with your significant other what way is best. If other underlying differences are what the issue is then discuss it like adults and two people who love each other or at in a caring relationship. No matter what kind of relationship if you can't help each other grow and even help each other improve in certain aspects of life then don't get into a meaningful relationship let alone get married. Not everyone has the same lifestyle or grew up with the same standards ok? Don't Damn and berate someone you say you care for and love. If you can't accept people are different and work as a team to build each other up, even when it comes to something as simple as cleaning, and sharing the duties then don't be in athe relationship.
The old mindset that men have to be the provider of the house is bullshit. No wonder relationships end in ruin and divorce rates or so high... a relationship/marriage/etc.. is a partnership. Meaning, everyone in the home has an equal responsibility. Men, need to learn to cook, clean and take care of house duties, just as much as the woman needs to focus on helping bring in financial help and stability too the home. Problem is, people are stuck following blind tradition then end up being unhappy and feeling that one partner isn't pulling there weight. (Usually, the men thinking of the women that way) we need to think as equal. Now, if your relationship works to where you have that arrangement, dont kill what works.
I actually quite enjoy cleaning so I don't think it's something she has to do at all if she can't/doesn't want to. If I am working and she isn't then I would like to believe she would keep things tidy during the day and the same goes if she is working and I'm not. But generally I think it should be a joint effort if we both make a point to pick up when we are able to then it's not a big deal who does it.
I'd vote for the household chores, cleaning, etc. should be divided equally or by the person whom does it he best with an equal amount of work shared between the two.
I don't think there is anything that says housework is woman's work, it's just work that needs to get done and it doesn't matter who does it!
Any household involving multiple people requires a division of responsibility, and that should be determined by relevant factors. Gender is irrelevant to this division. 100% irrelevant. It’s in the same league as dividing the tasks according to astrological signs. No one should be exempt from contributing to the household effort due to their genitalia. That’s just silly.
I have always done more housework, because it has worked out that way. (Even when I followed a therapist’s advice to just leave the mess, to encourage a guy I was dating, to participate. It didn’t work. We just lived in a shithole!) I think as both usually work today, the man needs to contribute as well.
Only when she has no job. Has nothing to do with the gender. When one is going to work and the other one stays at home, then this person has to clean the house. When both have a job, then both have to take care for the household.
If I ever get a relationship and we move in together, I prefer to divide the chores evenly or even do them together.
If she isn't working then yes she should do the cleaning, or most of it at least. If both are working then both should put in their fair share.
Presumably, a married couple should consist of two human adults. Barring illness, injury, or some other disability, the task of keeping a shared living space clean should be shared between the parties involved. It's part of being an adult.
Unless, of course, you have the money to pay someone else to do it.
I think men have a responsibility to be the main provider. That's not a negative "women can't do that", it's a positive "a wife should never have to". Taking care of the house is just the wife's share of the work within that context, given the husband is out working his ass off all day.
Depends.
If she's a stay at home mom while the man is out working, yes.
Every other circumstance, no, it should he a split chore.
In the nature of women they are more apt to cleaning and cooking.
But the most important thing is treat that person as a person, not a slave.
When you do that, it will not matter if you cook or clean.
If you see your house needs to be cleaned, be adults and fuckin clean it. "Oh golly, my house is dirty. wait hold on.. gotta check my crotch to see if thats in my job description" 🤔🤔🤔 wtf?
I think it depends. Like when me and my wife would work the same amount we would split the chores up evenly. Now that we are older and I work triple the amount of hours she does I only think it's fair she maintain the house because I still cook and do my own laundry and help with the kids so I don't think I should have to keep house clean simply because I spend far more time at work than at home in order to support our family and cleaning house along with her schedule still grants her more personal time then me and so I think it's fair in that case. Just depends how evenly distributed everything else is in the relationship I suppose.
The simpilest answer to this question is just don't have a house, and both live eleswhere then there will be no debate or arguments.
Whoever has more time at home should be responsible for the housework.
If she works 40 hours, and he works 20, he can sweep and mop. The reason why women "should be" responsible is because, statistically, they spend more hours in the home, where as the man, statistically, spends more hours at work.
