I'm the one who investigates noises. I also throw spiders out the window if they are in the way. I do the cooking, cleaning, laundry, car maintenance and small DIY jobs.

Yes but you should really throw a robe on before investigating Forget that. As you were

Does your carer know you call him "My Butler"?

Which one of you will go downstairs in the middle of the night to investigate a noise that may or may not be a burglar?

Me.

But she gets rid of spiders.

I found the answer to this last night when the glass break sensor was triggered. Turns out it's me but the wife decided to follow as well and managed to fall down the stairs behind me (she is fine). So traditional gender roles 1, gender equality nill.

good job at cushioning her fall!

Because this... "The researchers enlisted 92 straight men aged 19 to 43, who completed questionnaires to assess their masculinity style.".

Men usually have all resistance either (metaphorically)beaten out of them by the time they reach their 50s or they work out how to go with the flow.
Interesting to see that the article doesn't mention whether the men were currently in a relationship.

You missed out option 3 - which is they are divorced.

Isn't number 3 really a number 1. If it is the man building the gender equality then it could be argued he's the driving force of the relationship so arguably the provider/protector. Surely equality isn't driven by one in a proper equal relationship?

What about number 4 where he's happy to go along with the wife in an equal partnership and 5 where he's just told what to do. Why do all three involve the man being the shaper?

Me - apparently I am disposable.

Not while the family needs defending and supporting. When your offspring are old enough to fend for themselves and you're no longer capable of breeding, THEN like the old Lion of the Pack you're dispensable.
