This is an awfully negative piece that generalizes men and women.  Selfish men vs selfless women, yikes, thanks for generalizing all men as lazy selfish layabouts.  This sexist, bigoted author, Ms McLaren, doesn't realize a lot of men are not like that at all.  She needs to stop living in her 1950's fantasy land where men work and women are housewives, newsflash, it ain't like that anymore.  If you stick your wife with all the housework and are selfish, you will be on Plenty of Fish after she divorces you.  Making a marriage work today is about making each others lives mutually better, every day, and prospering together.
