    Overheard a conversation a few years back where a group of guys were talking about how they didn’t know how to cook or do laundry because that was woman’s work and how they expected their mothers and / or wives to do that for them. It was so pathetic how proud they were that they could not take care of themselves.

        60? 20? Does it matter?

        It’s an entire culture that hasn’t gone away.

        My father is 65 and could not cook a Kraft dinner to save his own life. Forget laundry. His son (my brother) believes the same. Whenever he is single his apartment goes uncleaned, he exclusively eats take out, and his clothes are barely laundered.
