110% agreed. When she and I first started living together, her car died while pulling in the driveway. And wouldn't start again. I figured no biggie, probably alt or battery. Nope. I pulled the oil dipstick. Bone dry. Not once did I think that a driver - male or female - did not regularly check their oil.

Months later, we were in some argument, and she blamed the engine failure on ME, saying "it's the MAN's job to check the oil." I told her, "Fine. It's a WOMAN's job to clean, do dishes, and laundry." She just said "OKAY!" And that was the end of it.

And I haven't washed an article of clothing since. I think I came out ahead, though sometimes I do help with cleaning and dishes.
