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 …

There's an overlooked factor in the imprecise term "housework:" what actually *needs* to be done as opposed to what either party *wants* done. It's only a generalisation, often false, but many women *want* "higher" standards of housework than men. Generosity > duty.

Not just what either party *wants* done, but WHEN they want it done. The number of times Mrs Lotak has said "Mr Lotak, can you help me clean the kitchen*" at 12am. Its f**king midnight! It can wait till tomorrow. *I don't mean dishes, I mean getting rid of clutter from counters

To be fair, neither men nor women have a monopoly on wanting to make unreasonable demands on the other. There are patterns to how typical men and women rub one another the wrong way, but the answer is not really gendered. We just need to be human: rational and generous.

To be fair, I know our marriage doesn't represent the norm and there are many things I do that rub her the wrong way. Of course its finding the right balance and being generous to the other.
