I got lucky and married a guy with three sisters who had a Mother who said he also had to do housework and learn how to cook. He has always supported me in my ambitions just like my Dad did with my Mother. I had a bad disaster first marriage that if I stayed I’d be dead by now as he was a woman’s place was in the home doing all the housework but also needed to contribute to the family bank account by also working.

I would not want to be a young unmarried woman now in this society !
