I thought she meant “men can’t be expect to be equal co-parents, and of course, forget about expecting them to cook, clean, and all those other girlie things.”

I’m saying: “Men CAN be expected to be equal co-parents, and to cook and clean.”

We SHOULD be expected to do it. And from my - admittedly limited perspective - we are doing it.

And - I can’t help adding - it would helpful if we could expect to CONTINUE to be equal co-parents, even after a divorce.

Sorry for the all-caps. FTR: I’m not mad at you. (I hope that doesn’t need to be said, but just in case.)
