Why I Want a Husband?
In our class discussion of "Why I Want a Wife" some students expressed weariness with what they view as the lingering attitudes born of the strident feminism of the 70s. This morning I read an Associated Press story online with the following headline: "Men Who do Housework Get More Sex." According to the AP story, The Council on Contemporary Families has released a report that suggests men now do twice as much housework as they did four decades ago. In the story, psychologist Joshua Coleman, author of The Lazy Husband: How to Get Men to do More Parenting and Housework, says that sharing household chores can even lead to a richer sex life.

Actually, I read the same article!
It's amazing how stigmas have changed. I was reading a few days ago in Cosmo magazine that womens' pet peeves about men, like leaving socks in the floor, is only because men are selfish. It's great to see that gender roles to some degree are balancing out in the real world, however, I think that politically, men are still seeking to preserve many of the stereotypical gender roles.
