    U of Washington Study - Do More "Women's" work Get Less Whoopie.

    I don't quite get how this works, women complain that men don't help out enough, then when they do this is the end result?


    No good deed goes unpunished. That famous phrase from Clare Booth Luce apparently applies to married men, according to a new study that finds men who help with the housework tend to have less sex.
    The University of Washington research, published Wednesday in the American Sociological Review, suggests that heterosexual couples have more “sexual encounters” when each partner takes on traditional gender roles.
    “Where the male is doing the male tasks and the female is doing the female tasks, those are the couples (who) are having more sex,” UW Associate Professor of Sociology and study co-author Julia Brines said in an interview with the Toronto Star.

    Not my words, but the words of a Univ. of Washington study.

    Want to have more sex? Men, stop helping with the chores (title of story)

    You really do have issues with women. Once again, I suggest therapy to help you through your problems.

    As I said not my words. You're a woman aren't ya? What's up with this? If men help, they get less, what? Respect? I'm really wondering how this works...

    I don't speak for all women. All I can say is that I'm much happier with my husband and am more apt to treat him with respect when he helps out around the house -- particularly since I work more than he does. Also, they may not be your words, but you seem to be going out of your way to bash women. I really do feel you have issues with women.

    Anecdotal, of course, but it doesn't appear to be an issue with my wife and I. But, I suppose to each their own.

    I would surmise there is more at play than the "assuming standard gender roles".

    I thought the top comment was pretty funny...
