It was on radio this morning, on TV this evening and in the papers this afternoon.
And the problem seems to be that men and women aren't equal or something like this. How is ironing causing a problem with equalities?
It's ironic, next time the car is down and needs to be pushed home - will you be asking your wife to push it? When there are heavy loads to be carried - are you going to get your wife to carry them while you do the ironing?
It's not a question of being a chauvinist. I respect women rights, but that they do certain household work doesn't mean they are not equal. In our place we split the job, I take some my girlfriend takes others and we get along great. I asked her and she would much rather do the ironing than washing the scooter or carrying the heavy bags home.
It's a weird "big story".
Really it's a matter of treating others the way one wants to be treated. I would never enforce my girlfriend to do something she doesn't want to. And neither would she do that to me. The booklet, The Way to Happiness is a great booklet to apply and avoids these odd "studies" and conclusions.
