This is the last you will get from me. Bye Why na? Stay na and continue showing how much of a f00l you are. Elder that doesn't know to leave people's family, (especially parents) out of his petty insults, yet has the nerves to talk about how someone was raised, what does that say about you? just how stup1d can one person be? na Internet cause am sha, that's why you can come here and chat sh1t to me, no be your fault my dear imbc1le. |

5minsmadness: Let me start by apologising. My response is going to be brief, brittle and brisk.
You're a woman. I'm a man. These terms have social as well as biological and even psychological definitions. I cook, clean, wash, sew my own clothes when torn as well as change the flat tire and repair the gen. There is literally nothing in the kitchen that you can do that I can't (except maybe keep it a little tidier...lol) and maybe even a little better in some (I make pounded yam so smooth you'd think you'd died and gone to heaven when u taste it with my goat meat egusi soup).
However all those feminine chores stop when I get married. I want to make sure the woman I marry can be nurturing. I want to make sure she can take care of me and more especially my kids. Her primary role is to nurture. Mine is to protect. Simples. Most of the nurturing takes place in the kitchen i.e cooking, washing plates etc. Any woman that cooks and cleans for a man has already warmed her way into his heart (hence so much infidelity with even ugly housemaids... matter for anothe day).
Now, the woman can earn money for the house yes, but that still is not her primary duty. A family in which the woman is the breadwinner is a failed /dysfunctional family. It might be a temporary in certain cases but should be corrected as soon as possible.
Back to your question: the chores mentioned up there are chores for the female folk. It doesnt mean the men can't do it but it is expected for the women to do it. You don't expect us to have a family meeting and the men will go to the market and cook food. You don't expect to be home with your brother and he'll enter kitchen to cook when u r there. That's a social dysfunction. Just like no one expects u to go and put on the generator or push the car or clear the bush at the backyard when your brother is there. The social order has defined what is appropriate for the men and women to do.
And both sexes should take pride in doing thier duties.
Even in the western world men who constantly do the dishes are said to be hen-pecked. Sure he may help once in a while but it is not by force. In fact a man cooking or doing the dishes during or after a date is so appreciated in the west it is seen as being romantic.
What you r trying to question here is the social order of things. Well, go ahead. Nothing stops you. There has been relative peace in the world for so long people have time to question even the basest of things.
On a lighter note your Bros said u no go find man marry if u continue your Agbero ways... You don find the man so? 
You see? He was right  apology not accepted as this is in no way brief.  I'm not even going to argue with you but you should just know that, because its expected it doesn't mean that's how it ought to be. I was expecting one of you to say that doing those chores shrinks your balls visibly  , but since it doesn't, I see no reason why you shouldn't do chores for your woman while she watchs her shows on TV, you people are just unreasonably proud, mschew.  You and my brother dey craze.  That was then anyways, he knows I'm a very rare gem, I can't be trying to find man, I'm too awesome to.  |

How long is your ban sef? You should just fax the Mods and try to reach a compromise, or bide your time till the ban ends.
Lively needle = Ikibari(in Japanese). The metaphor flew over my head - kindly elucidate.
It means I only frolic with the highbrow and those of my ilk. The creme de la crème. . . .and members of the Triple Nine society 
Then what are we waiting for? Let's do some Déshabillé sun-worshipping already.
Who the deuce is Janey? I would still fax you anyway. Not now, but when I feel like yakking.  You think it enough, I don't, your gesture that is. I wanted you to say you'd lead the charge , that's what a true friend woulda done.  Compromise my azz, the day I talk to any mod about a ban is the day I'll know it's time to take a bow.  Ugh! Such a show off. *double rolls eyes*  I hate ya already, nine society ko, eleven society ni, mschew. You and I ain't doing sh1t, ya can't handle that anyways, this cocoa too hot for ya.

shaybebaby: Honey boo, imma answer this for you. When men start behaving like this, you have to blame their mama and their pops (the inception of such mentality, sorry hun but it's true).
Now, going by nairaland standards, you'll never find men who do such, do chores without being asked to. That's another lie. It's all about how you present yourself from the onset.
Like me for instance, I am not that kind of girl that enjoys cooking, I can do it but men, apart from cooKing for my little man, I can't be arsed.
My boo, cooks everyday..without fail. I do not demand it, he loves it (is a trained chef) so he does it voluntarily. He also does the dishes, laundry, hoovering with me. If my baby is home, he shoos me and says "play with your baby".
My ex was responsible for the grocery shopping ( I guess because he loves shopping, any kind of shopping, as long as it involved parting with dosh ) so he took over and I let him. One less thing to think about.
One thing these two men have in common? They were both raised by single mums. Make you wonder....
Ps how was the night out? Did my girl throw awesome shapes like MJ back in the day?  Hi pumpkin, you don't have to apologise as you are right, although my parents were great and all, there was still that consciousness and the yeye only son thingy clouding over us(my dad didn't share the only son sentiment though, it was mostly mum and it pissed us off like mad), though he can cook, he just wasn't encouraged to do so and didn't really partake much in chores, so I know what you mean.  I can't really think of any chores I like doing sef but I do them anyways  , though I rarely cook these days but I know I'd love to cook for my mini mes when they start coming(anything for the children), I hope by then this spirit of laxity woulda left me sha.  Aren't you lucky? I'm imagining the mouth watering dishes at your disposal, flex jare my baby, YOLO. I guess since it was just them and their mums, they spent a lot of time together and that included doing chores together, maybe? I don't know, but they did a good job and now you are reaping the benefits, kudos to them.  Lol, it was fun and trust me, people were starring when I hit the dance floor, thanks to liquid courage.  |

craziebone: I have no problem giving any woman wedding/marriage. But for me, certificate/formal ceremony is not very consequestial. This is why i take every relationship seriously. You will never find me going into a relationship just for the fun of it. I go into a relationship because i love the woman in question; and when i hear men and women say over the radio, or in newspapers that they want a partner for a serious relationship, i get like: "so there are unserious relationships?" for me, all relationships should be serious! If you don't love the lady in question, why ask her out? Errm, I thought you ask someone out before you get to love them, usually that is. |

Same with weeding your lawns, fixing your electrical works etc I don't become lazy, he is the one who mostly wants to take the wheel(except when I insist), if I don't know how to fix stuffs and he does, I appeal to his sense of kindness, not say he has to do it because he is a man. I usually don't even wait for him before I get the things I want, done, and this, he even sometimes complain about for reasons I am yet to understand.  |

crackhaus: You sef, clearly you've always been the rebel...it's very clear now - only you are atheist, feminist, and so much more..  
Let me ask you the question I put in bold in another context; What does it take from you to cook noodles for your own brother? Rebel and stubborn much? 
I'm thinking you got on the defensive probably because he demanded it and did not ask nicely, yes? If so, hasn't this been my point all along?
A woman should not bring that leg of "now I'm contributing to finance, my husband has to contribute to chores" especially when this man has never or doesn't do any of these chores before...why is this so hard for y'all to comprehend?
This is exactly the negative outcome of 21st century media exposure. Easy-to-mislead women of our generation go on the internet or TV to read/see other women who talk about how their fathers and husbands assist with this and that... my husband helps with this, my father helped with that when we were growing up and bla bla bla. What they fail to mention however, is that they or their mothers didn't force the men to be like that, these men were and are contributing to chores because they want to and enjoy doing it. Simple and short!
But y'all (apologies for including you) don't bother to ask this question: Was your husband always hands-on with chores or did you make him so just because you contribute to the finance? 
I'm giving you an assignment, ask women who say stuff like that (you can start with your NL friends) and gauge the responses - you will struggle to see one who will honestly say that she's the one who demanded/told/persuaded/asked their husband to assist with chores. Even in a case where he does it once or twice, how often does he do it...or don't they eat and clean everyday?
**** Back to your question, doing chores take absolutely nothing from me (can't speak for the majority), I know how to take care of my own shiit...I've not dated any girl that will come and be using cooking and cleaning to form for me, I won't even give her face one bit.. mehn OYO oo!   But the moment I see a proper Nigerian woman for that matter going on about how her husband must contribute to house chores, my automatic response is usually 'tor, abi na wetin dis one dey feel like sef' lol. 
You married a man who assists? Happy for you. You didn't? Sister get used to it cos I'm honestly yet to see a man who will suddenly become what he wasn't before, just because his wife brings in some money. She can try to make him, but shouldn't complain if that line of action backfires. A submissive gentle somborri like me.  Doesn't really take anything to cook for someone, but making it sound like I was obligated to because i was a girl was what I had a serious problem with, especially since I wasn't demanding anything of him, on the grounds that he was a boy, so it was injustice as far as I was concerned, but he didn't see it in that light and me sef show am pepper kwanu.  It's not really the same thing as your wife shouldn't even have to demand, you should just know to do them and if you don't know how (due to upbringing or whatever), then employ her to teach you(lets join hands and make things right)  As far as I'm concerned, money shouldn't even be a factor, I mean, she shouldn't expect him to do chores solely because she contributes(why shouldn't she in the first place? well unless they agreed on it) in which case she shouldn't complain, but two adults working to finance their needs, must also take care of their chores together, how is this even something to be debated? Why/how will it backfire? What is wrong with a man doing chores?  My own is that, men should not do chores because they want to or enjoy it, they should do it because it is the responsible/sensible thing to do, especially when your wife is having difficulty handling it all alone, where is the kindness?  Try seeing it from this perspective. Na our fore mothers cause all these things sef.  |
