From today's Globe & Mail:

When in Spain . . .

Doug Saunders reports that Spanish law now requires husbands to promise to do 50 per cent of the housework (No More Machismo? -- Focus, June 3). "It makes me wonder how many other repressive, religious countries are waiting to be similarly unveiled and liberated," he writes

Role Reversal

[pipesdreams]

See, now, my first thought was "oh my heavens, what if they introduce legislation in Canada that says WOMEN have to do 50% of housework! Justin will take me to court! I'll be SUED!"

Yeah, I don't really pull my weight per se around the house. I garden, sometimes I'll dust or vaccuum, but washing dishes and doing laundry are my idea of hell on earth. I avoid them whenever possible. I also don't cook.

Yeah, but you garden. And quilt. Any quasi-domestic interests that are that cool win you major points that far outweigh the need to do the occasional toilet-scrubbing.
