the fact that he used that as a rebuttal is pretty damned hilarious. "how will i get women back on my side?... i've got it, get men to help them do their housework!"

Ah. Well men should do that anyway, but who is this guy to tell women to be submissive?
The idea of being submissive, despite the fact that I am meek fills me with the urge to stay single and aquire a kaleidoscope of butterflies and other assorted interesting creatures.

There's a line in the Bible (in Kings, I believe) that mentions men washing dishes ("turning it over and over as a man washes a dish"). Apparently no actual man has ever paid any attention to that line, though.
