Blah, the gender wars are so Gen-X.

Any married couple that divides labour/work down gender lines rather then by ability is doomed to failure this day and age. I do find it hilarious that BuzzardsWife left out what "Goes to Work" actually entails, but proceeds to detail the the "woman's day" explicitly, and then tries to imply it's some how "harder". Can't do that and sound even slightly serious. And honestly, all that type of claim does is diminish actual gender inequality issues.

Work loads in a family unit are entirely up to the people involved. There are no preconceived jobs for men and women. The only exception is those dealing with biological functions (men can't breastfeed...).

If I wasn't married already, I think I'd be with the Captain on this one... But my wife is awesome and we are never having kids.
