Yes, this is annoying. I say this as part of a couple which doesn't fit the gendered division of labour norm, partly because I am not more nurturing than my husband and partly because I have been disabled for many years & often relied on my husband to care for me, home, child. https://twitter.com/MahdDogg/status/981839977305735168 …

I know that assumptions exist. This can be dealt with tho in relationships IF PEOPLE WANT TO. I did want to. When Dave &I first lived together, he used to say 'I did the floors for you'. This resulted in much sarcasm from me about whether he also used the floor or levitated about

Also an assumption from him that was rather endearing. His mother had always really wanted a fitted kitchen but never got one so he kept telling me that he would do overtime etc so that I could get one. This would be read as sexist by certain types of feminist.

Because he assumed the kitchen was mine and that I cared about kitchens. I didn't and we still don't have a fitted kitchen because when we have spare cash, I'd rather go on holiday. But it wasn't patriarchal society which gave him this impression. It was his mother.

Did his mother exist in a vacuum... or a society?

The same society as my mother.
