This seems practical but I don't like this at all. This can happen organically but arranging it seems to miss the point. And it just wouldn't work for many couples. I had a man argue this to me in a really ruthless way. 1/2https://twitter.com/mlowry/status/981846564611219457 …

So, I can earn more than him by doing half the hours he does. If I were to do that, should I then be a part-timer and have much leisure time & then tell him how much housework, cooking & childcare he owes me when he gets in tired and hungry?

The man said, 'yes' - he thought this would be fair but I think he was doubling down due to gender ideology. It clearly would not be fair in a relationship where people work together. (In reality, he earns a little more because I don't work much coz I want to write)

Of course, people can be selfish in relationships. One of my friends often complains of her husband doing none of the housework despite them both working full-time. I would not tolerate this for a minute. She does. I raised the issue once and then minded my own business.
