    So much this. Working all day is exhausting. So is keeping the house. Having to do both all of the time when you have an able-bodied partner? Gross. No one wants an adult child as a partner.

    Men have no idea just how exhausting it is to have to carry all of that weight. Well, some do, I’m sure. I haven’t met any, personally, but that doesn’t mean they’re not out there.

    Having a partner that is an actual partner gives you the room to breathe and relax. And honestly, that is the real turn on.

      When did this become about gender politics…?

      But yikes.

      Imagine the horror of I said the same statement but reversed the genders, and the stereotype.

        Look, you’re not entirely wrong. But this is a very gendered experience (as in, disproportionately affects women). Of course it happens the other way around, just nowhere near as often. You don’t have to get so fucking defensive about it. This is the world you live in, deal with it.
