I'm a stay at home husband, or as I call it, a "kept man"...

5. It's a "many" thing, I grant

And if I had not been a Marine, I probably would have been like most bachelors. The fact is, since boot camp, I simply cannot stand to live in the same building with any kind of uncleanliness. Call it an obsession or whatever, but it's something more men should pick up (I'm sure the Army and Navy are almost as good at instilling that).

My fiancee is, and I'll be very honest here, a slob. I love her deeply, but this is true. If I didn't clean things up, there would be dirty clothes on the floor, and dirty dishes in the sink every night. This isn't the voice of resentment; this is just a simple recognition of fact. I own the name "feminist" and I admire the feminist leaders of the past because thanks to them we have a situation where I can be the person who addresses those issues, while she negotiates important treaties that will guide US policy for the next several decades. Guess what: it's a great idea to keep it that way, because you sure as hell wouldn't want to reverse that, either for our dishes' sake or our treaties' sake.
