Are you saying that many women in USA don't want to iron and clean?
Who does that then?

P.S.
Wife is a doctor (M.D.)
In quite a few married couples I know, the female of the pair not only doesnt cook but doesnt know how (and is often proud of that). I dont know if thats the state of affairs in NY and LA (the more liberal progressive parts of the country) but it seems that the "woman's place is in the kitchen" jazz has backfired on us manfolk in a huge way.

Most households in the U.S. have a maid. Haven't you seen the Jetsons?
You own a Roomba, dont you? [:D]

Welcome to THE THREAD!!!, Grit! [:)]
All who don't take themselves too seriously are very welcome here. [8D]
I'm glad I didn't bring up what is really bothering me then. Stephen Hawking's warning that we shouldn't be contacting Aliens. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8642558.stm
A wise man, Dr. Hawkings.......too many people have thought "1st contact" would be "ET-ish" or like "Close encounters". I've always steered more towards "Independance Day" or better yet . "Mars Attacks!". [:D]
We have too much of a "Star Trek" view of potential aliens. But even that franchise is becoming more realistic. The 1st year of "Enterprise" seemed to be alternating between "please don't hurt us" and flipping off the Vulcans![:D]
If there's anything that those "aliens wipe out human civilization" movies have taught me is that humanity aught to be much more careful and less petty after its been pruned back some by alien invasion. [:)]

If I were ever daft enough to get married (sorry married guys), thats probably how I would play it.

I thought the opposite would be true irl. After whipping martian ass we would become far more insufferable than we already are. Kinda like Hudson in Aliens yelling "you want some of this?"

Hi Leo,ORIGINAL: Apollo11
My cousins that live in USA also do all the chores with their American spouses (and all three of them are doctors as well)...
Leo "Apollo11"
The wife unit and I share in household chores, but different ones. I do the dishes, keep the kitchen clean and pay bills. She does the vast majority of the laundry (no one irons or else I iron my own stuff), the kids put theirs away and I put my own laundry away. We alternate on the cat box duty, but that's mostly her too if I can help it.
For everything else, we've a housekeeper that spends 4 hours in the house once weekly to knock most of the dust and cobwebs down, do some vacuuming, empty the trash bins and some other miscellaneous cleaning. We have found that doing what we tolerate and hiring out the balance is the way to go for both of our schedules (we're both doctors too, FWIW) and sanity.
Cheers.

Meh. I've known plenty of 'liberal progressive' couples where either or both cook. Remember, cooking with organic, gluten-free, low-fat, high fiber, compassionately killed, fair-trade materials whilest drinking some overpriced white wine from chateau whateveur is still de rigour with many of these types.ORIGINAL: Onime No Kyo

I've known a few that have loathed cooking, even if they're stay-at-home moms. I've never quite understood how they can afford to constantly get take out or eat out every other day, but whatev.
