Quote:Why do modern Indian men continue the ancient system of discrimination expecting their wives to do the housework even if she is a working woman? Can we call such men 'modern'?

I am an Indian guy who believes in sharing work equally with my working wife. This is an observation from my personal experience also supported by the finding in this article: Indian men spend a mere 19 minutes a day on housework - The Times of India

Poor clueless chode wants "equality" for women and for men to do half of the housework. This is how the horror begins...

What to do to stop it?

I find that the best angle of attack against this claim is to point out that women themselves are not attracted to men who do housework (this was explained at length in a recent study reported in New York Times - the more housework men do, the less sex they get). Ergo, we men would gladly do housework, but we don't want to do it because women punish us if we do it. If women changed their preferences, then we would change too. It's not about us.

Same goes for the argument that men are "afraid" of high-earning women.

p.s. however, don't have any illusions about stopping anything. The feminist juggernaut cannot be stopped by rational arguments. Only the hard limits of nature (i.e. demographic/fiscal collapse) can bring it to its knees, and it's not going to happen in our lifetimes.

p.p.s. hilarious coincidence that the twitter link for this thread is roo.sh/eat

I remember many years back watching stuff on TV that talked about how men should help with a lot of housework, so the wife would be less exhausted, and thus more likely to have sex.

I think the key point they missed out there was that the sex wouldn't be with you.

I'll never have this problem because I have no desire to live with a girl that I'm seeing or banging.

When a woman says something like that to me my first response is to ask her who fixes her car, cuts the yard, does all the heavy lifting. These people can't understand that there is work a man does and work a woman does because it maximizes their strengths.

It's simple. Wives have sex with you in proportion to how much money you are making at work. It has nothing to do with her happiness or lack thereof. It has nothing to do with reason or intelligence.

You bring home a fat bonus check, her mammalian brain instantly switches on the horniness. She'll assign some other blah blah blah reason to the horniness, but it's just her mammalian brain seeing a fresh chunk of money.

When you are doing housework, you aren't making money, so it doesn't make her horny even if she claims she likes it.

The key to managing a wife is recognizing that whatever she says verbally is nonsense. Smile and nod and sympathize, then rest assured that 5 minutes later whatever she said verbally is meaningless and she's already forgotten it.

Women are all instinct and emotion in the moment (or at least, the good women are.)
