Women still do the bulk of household chores, management, raising kids and the mental load of it all. When cohabiting, how have you shared them, and how did it effect you?

    Mate I found myself nodding and going “oh yeah” out loud reading your comment. You’re right it’s impractical, causes resentment and damages the relationship. Men like that see themselves as victim because they see nothing wrong in their behavior so why would she be screaming at him about it? It’s hard to see how men like this can see racism and homophobia/transphobia in other people’s actions (or at least respect group members that point it out) but are oblivious to misogyny.

    That guys attitudes are scary, I’m sorry you had to hear it. I wish I could say its incredibly rare, but those attitudes aren’t.
