The thing I guess is that while anyone can be lazy or dislike house work, social expectations make easier for some people to get away from that work.

I mean, I don’t like house chores, but neither as a girl or as a woman, did I get a pass on those chores. If I didn’t perform them well, I get punished. And it was expected that I did them with a minimum level of quality. From cooking to cleaning, that was considered my responsibility.

On the other hand, my brother could do it and be praised by a result that for me would be considered “not enough”. My brother did it anyway and learned to do it well, but he could have get away from that easily.

I saw that replicated on other people. Boyfriend mothers that explain *me* how to cook a recipe that he likes (but he didn’t know how to prepare) or even expecting me to choose clothes for them (which is creepy in an adult) and then, there is that situation when there at visits at home and if the home is dirty, they look badly at the woman. Even if said woman didn’t live there and is just a girlfriend. Once I even was told how my boyfriend’s house was so dirty and messy” and when I reply “well *my* house is clean, you should told that to him” everyone there was uncomfortable but me.

Point is, assumptions about who have to do certain task exist and play a role providing a “nice” excuse for the people who dislike house chores. While you can have people of any sex who dislike them, the men have it easier to get away with not doing them. If you want to think about the equivalent, think about the women who dislike using tools and assembling furniture. They know how to do it, but it is easier to claim that is a “man’s job”. Although if it is about frequency, I would rather choose to assemble furniture. XD
