blah blah,
ITS ABSOLUTELY FINE, for a man to do domenstic job,
or share soem domestic burden.
Whilst doing domestic work, there is no question of
who is ENTITLED TO DO IT. The only concern should be
WHO IS FREE to it.
period.
My husband occassionaly helps with dish washing. (Though
he does not dare to investigate on his other skills...esp cooking!)
May be I REPEAT MAYYY be, ur wife was hurt, because,
some specific job which u did, might have embarassed her.
Good luck all to domestic workers (Remember Sex no bar!)

Hi Blah2,
Women do like men doing domestic work .
But they hate to give them credit for that.
Especially in cooking !!!.
This poor soul never gets the due credit .
All Glory is cornered by wife when guests praise the dish prepared by me....sob...sob...sob...!!
Just kiddin,
Yes, they hate to share the limelight.

Blah2 : We're brought up to clean our underwear because of menses!! Perhaps, that's why she was so embarassed by your kind gesture. Sigh ...
we Indians find all sorts of excuses not to say a plain THANK YOU!!
Even in movies, I find it ridiculous when wives feel slighted to have husbands apologise or thank them. No wonder we are doomed as door-mats!

Quite true Nirosha, women even after many years of marriage have this self-imposed unequal status by virtue of which they think it's awful to have one's husband wash their clothes or do what is "rightfully" their chore
I think as Shahkthi pointed out as before, helping with dishes and general cleaning should be split among husbands and wives, may be based on who is free to do it at the time.
Hemant, please we do share the limelight with husbands, for most women, it's the female members of the in-law household thay they have a problem with!
And absolutely no, I don't know of any contemporary woman who thinks being lazy is manly!!
Tea, snacks, clean house, washed clothes would just floor me, as they do often

blah blah,
You have an excellent wife who minds your doing house hold work. Why do you want to spoil her, and endanger freedom of other husbands by setting a very dangerous example? !!
And don't listen to Shakti for whom ITS ABSOLUTELY FINE, for a man to do domenstic job. ( my sympathies to her husband!)
My wife also tried to reform me! But my selective deafness has saved me so far!!

Mine doesn't help in the kitchen either. But to be fair, with the kids, he's wonderful! My daughter who is 6, still prefers to bathe only when her Acha herds her into the bathroom. So at least, he helps out in something. And yes, he's good at squeezing out murukkus too.
So, a bit of help from a spouse is much appreciated!!

The inevitability of such topics as this, is that eventually some self-righteous preserver of the 'old order' is going to claim that men have yielded their bastions to the fair (read weak) sex and that they are to be pitied for their pathetic existence. No wonder at all that it should happen here

I would hate to call you DEAR ANBU so just Anbu will do,
Most evolved hunter in animal kingdom (After hman beings) are Lions and Hyenas. 8)
It would do you good if you know that 90 times out of 100, it is lionesses that hunt and Lions come and literally drive away lionesses first to have their first bellyful.
Same way, Hyenas do not have a place for males in the inner circle where females rule the roost.
Males have no part in their society except procreation.
So may be in natur's matrix, being female dominated society means better evolution....Who knows?
