when it comes to household chores... The "blue jobs" -household tasks that women say are the responsibility of men. "Pink jobs" -household tasks that men say are the responsibility of women. for e.g Retrieving items from the loft investigating strange noises in the night, removing lids from jam jars and unblocking toilets remembering birthdays, packing school lunches and replacing toilet rolls when they run out. According to you, which task goes to women and which to men 
Since I wear both the dress and the pants, I guess its all pink from this viewpoint.

Chores have to be divided up somehow. Some things will naturally go to the woman, as long as she doesnt have a chip on her shoulder about being a woman. When my girlfriend moves in with me, she already knows she is taking care of birthday and christmas cards, and she is happy with it. That is more her thing than mine, and id bet than in general it will be more the thing of the woman rather than the man. There is little point in , say, me doing the laundry and leaving her to do the heavy stuff. I can do that quicker and easier, and generally that would be the case for men(before you start reminding me that you can heavy stuff yourselves). You cant put a definate label on what is a man or a womans job, but you gotta be sensible about things. I agree with what you are saying mostly. But what does it mean..."as long as she doesn't have a chip on her shoulder about being a woman?" I am confused by the comment, please explain... |

seriously??? All those chores are the responsiblity of both the female and the male.....unless the male isn't man enough to check out the "bumps in the night"...then us big girls will do it ourselves! LOL 
right. but don't you think dividing the tasks still helps 
It's really not a "help" dividing tasks strictly by gender which you expressed in your initial question/comment. If anything, it would hinder a relationship because it belittles a woman by establishing "pink" chores for her...and what this denotes about your feelings of a woman's place in her own home. Chauvinistic to say the least. Her contribution goes far beyond "women's work"...or pink as you like to call it and often women do a better job on so-called "men's work"...or blue as you like to call it. It is somewhat offensive to establish things based on genitalia. I can't believe Mr. Therapy would even say such a thing. Are you really a therapist or "do you just play one on the boards?" Dividing chores is one thing which I really don't believe is necessary...when something needs to get done...just do it. What's next a chore wheel? What is "mature" is just being "responsible" for what needs to get done in general. This doesn't make it "fun" or "easier." It's very silly and immature if one thinks this is necessary to do what is common sense. My parents have been married over 40 plus years and my father does alot of "pink jobs" and my mom does alot of "blue jobs." Are you married? BTW-They are very happily married. Hey the colour coding is just for fun. I clearly asked which should go to men and which to women. But by that I didn't mean women are less in any way. The core idea here is to divide the task and do it. In addition, I would always prefer my partner to peform lighter work because I care for her but if she wishes to help me, she can..why not.. Hey again...well...guess I understand now what you are saying/getting at  (the flower should be a white flag though ). And, I misspoke, maybe you are just being a gentlemen: "I would always prefer my partner to perform lighter work because I care for her." So with that said I am not a Nazi Feminist but was just instantly turned off by it because of my experience with sexist pigs . Me likey a gentlemen .

I like a guy who cooks and keeps the checkbook in line.... 
If there is a mouse.. He is all over it and I am not watching... 
Of corse I can do all things on my own but Id rather have someone to share the work .... team.... |

I agree chores should be divided but not according to man and woman "jobs". I am a single parent with the father gone so I do all jobs.

Why do you have to divide them between men's tasks and women's tasks? If you want to split them up between two people, perhaps just split them evenly? Doesn't matter who does what. |

The core idea here is to divide. I didn't mean to have this gender thing come into it. But, on the other hand, some of the tougher tasks should be done by men. |

Tell that to my dad when he made bring up fire wood and wood pellets in winter. I would carry 3 50lb bags up myself in one haul. Like I said mind over matter, you can do anything your mind allows you to. |

Best inference would be there are things which men do the best and some which women does...but its not either of them are less than anybody. |
