No, TokyoPlayer, I was mocking some of the argumentation already seen in this thread, hence the bit in small font.
As for me, not only have I cleaned out basin and shower drains, I’ve also taken the manhole cover off the drain outside, bailed out the inspection pit with a bucket, and rummaged around up the pipe to the length of my arm’s reach in a quest to discover why the fucker wasn’t draining, so people with sand in their vaginas about a few drops of opposite-sex urine don’t know from gross.

Yeah, I’ve seen my husband up to his elbows in black gunk inside the toilet. I’ll keep mopping, thanks.

:smack: OK, got it.

I also do my share of unpleasant chores. We had a drain in our bathroom which collects hair and junk. Cleaning out that drain is not the funnest thing in the world.

I guess we just come from different worlds. I always pick my hair from the bathtub drain, and have in fact been directed to do so by short-haired male roommates, which I considered fair.
What was the point of this again?
All I ever said was, if you don’t do the cleaning, then it’s inconsiderate of you to make messes that could be avoided. If you do do the cleaning, make whatever the fuck kind of mess you want.
I think the point was “Don’t get a stick up your ass about gross chores involving someone else’s mess unless they never do gross chores in which they clean up your mess”. Under these conditions, “a stick up your ass” would include dictating in which positions your opposite-sex partner may and may not relieve themselves. There are other means of damage control which do not necessarily entail treating other people in a demeaning fashion.
Personally, I sit down to pee in the small hours, either because I’m half asleep or don’t want to turn the light on, or both.

I blame society and the media. Turn on the TV any time day or night and you will see a constant flow of imagery of a pretty harpy pecking at some poor, broken, slob of a guy. Men are constantly portrayed in relationships as either buffoons, saps, dupes or manipulative (and possibly violent) scumbags.

And women are portrayed as conniving, manipulative, insecure, jealous, shopping obsessed, sex crazed/sexually dried up, henpecking she-bitches from the lowest depths of hell. And everyone is flat stomached, perky titted and boxtox fur alles!
