I was watching an old episode of _Designing Women_ and Suzanne says > [@](#): > > This just makes me furious. You know when men use women’s liberation as an excuse not to kill bugs for them. Oh I just hate that! I don’t care what anybody says, I think the man should have to kill the bug! OK without getting too serious about this…Ladies please finish the sentence I’m all for women’s right but I think the man should…XXX What would you replace the XXXs with??? (Of course men are free to contribute too) 🙂 ---

…be the one to dispose of the small dead animals brought in by the cats. I’ll kill all the bugs - I’ve got one of those tennis racket zappers and I like using it. …take out the garbage if it’s particularly heavy that week, because it has no wheels and it’s hard to drag. ---

I’m sticking with the bugs. Shudder. I’ll add “carry the heavy stuff”. Sure, I \*can _do it, but it’s easier for him._ - _This, of course, applies only to men I can’t beat two out of three times at arm wrestling._ ---

Call me conservatist, but I do think that applies to the vast majority of men; I make an exception for FtM who don’t feel comfortable getting the last bit of surgery. … ought’a have lower body fat content than I do. ---

Well, once upon a time I would have said “plunge the toilet” but since I was the one who recently helped out with the septic tank emergency I don’t think I can say that any more. So, in my relationship: “kill the spiders” and “wear the penis”. Oh, and he’s still on the vehicle oil changes, but that’s just because of how we divided up the chores - I’ve offered to swap that for laundry but so far no deal. ---
