1. You perpetuate the stereotype that such work is the realm of women and

2. You fence off domestic life from men, leaving them with nothing to do but work.

I find it puzzling since I thought you were into the idea of women being liberated from traditional stereotypical roles.

Do you not think that in order to free women from this domestic work stereotype that it also necessary to allow men to expand into that realm without being snickered at or targeted with cynicism?
