Well, that's not quite as bad as the Fox news barb at the end of a serious domestic violence story a while back where a woman literally ripped off her husband's testicles with her bare hands.
The "joke" at the end of that article was something like: "the police chief didn't say whether the man's voice was high-pitched when he was questioned."
After a barrage of e-mail to Fox news from men's activists, the barb was removed from the story.
Perhaps we should act similarly here?

My SO is great at and about washing dishes. If he would only put the sponge away instead of leaving it in the sink to get mildewy, he would be perfect.

I would love to, but its not clear who we should email or write to. Someone suggested in another thread that this site adopt the NOW site's technology to help automate letter writing campaigns. I thnk that would be an outstanding idea.
And I agree- the presentation of scientific information was inappropriately flippant.

Apparently there's no amount of estrogen, high or low, that will cause a woman to consider the other fifty four items of housework than men do --but those jobd somehow don't count. (The list starts on page 100 of Warren Farrell's book, "Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say.") The idea of "helping" women around the house seems to mean doing her job -- as well as his.

"The idea of "helping" women around the house seems to mean doing her job -- as well as his."
If both of them are working, they should both contribute to the housework. If I've worked all day and then have to come home and cook dinner and clean house while my husband watches TV, I've got a problem with that. That doesn't happen though with us - usually we both cook together, or one will cook and do the kitchen while the other does the living room and bedroom. Now, if one partner is a stay-at-home and the other the family breadwinner, then I think the stay-at-home should do the bulk of the housework. However, the "breadwinner" shouldn't make extra work either - it's not that hard to get your dirty socks into the hamper instead of just dropping them on the floor.

So, low testosterone causes emotional instability?
And which gender, pray tell, has chronically low testosterone?
Neat deflection someone failed to mention in that article, wouldn't ya say?
Low testosterone, high estrogen = instability and irrationality.
Things to make you go "Hmmmmmmmmmm....."
But it still doesn't address the traditional female inability to turn on the light and check to see if the toilet seat is down.

I wondered who'd be first to notice that. Male
testosterone levels average about 7 times female
as I recall.

Interestingly, I know two sides of this - I know one guy ordered to take extra testosterone because of a medical problem of some sort, doubt it was because he was irrational.
Then, I knew a girl with PCOS, which basically made every hormone level wacky - especially testerone. Somehow I doubt the idea of added rationality would've mattered in light of being declared forever infertile at 15.
And I've always wondered about that toilet-seat up thing...

We have a rule that you put the lid down. Keeps the cats (and kids) out of it, looks nicer, and ends any arguments about seat-up, seat-down.

I always put the seat down after a guy has used the john. And as for the lights, I have trouble turning them OFF. *G*
And my dad does the dishes, my brother too. But they'd rather be off fishing, and my mom would rather quilt or go to work, and I'd rather be at COLLEGE where I don't have to do the dishes.

"Female men's activist" is not an oxymoron.
