I also haven't done a load of laundry in the 13 years that we've been married. I honestly wouldn't know how to do it right.
Not that I don't have chores of my own. My wife has never renovated the place. I don't think she's vacuumed the house in 13 years. I make sure the place looks pretty pristine before I go down for the night. I coach the kid's soccer teams, I bring them to their music lessons.
If well defined and agreed upon roles and responsibilities make me a misogynistic a**hole, then so be it. It's worked pretty well for 13 years now.

Yeah, I think its kind of stupid and unrealistic to expect everyone to do everything, split in the middle. I don't think there's anything wrong with having defined roles in a relationship if it works for the couple. It's more efficient for me to fix the sink and do things around the house, and it's more efficient for her to make dinner, than if the roles were flipped. Who cares what some non-realistic "modern ideal" says...if it works for you and as long as both contributing, do it.
