Had this one show up on Facebook...

It basically talks about women doing all the housework and men doing "nothing". Here is their final solution:
4. Stop stepping in to make life more comfortable for others. If something doesn’t affect you (or a young child) directly, don’t do it. Instead of constantly organising and reminding, it’s more effective to let people feel the effects of their own behaviour (missed appointments, late fines etc.). Endure the mild discomfort while they have the dignity of learning for themselves.
So what's the purpose of having a woman around? To make things more difficult for her warrior and her protector? To be the beneficiary of his credit card and his sperm?
And finally, when your partner does star taking responsibility for a new area, let them work it out on their own. Resist the urge to criticise or “rescue”. And while they’re figuring it out, grab a book, turn on Netflix, leave the house without giving instructions. Switch off and let someone else figure it out. And repeat.
It's no wonder that marriages and relationships fail with advice like this. "If he doesn't do what you expect him to, then abandon him". This kind of a mentality is exactly what caused my marriage to fail. She demanded things, and then abandoned the whole situation.
Oh, and the comment from this woman!
The one reason I live alone. Won't be any man's housekeeper again. I told my ex not to assume I would do something. He did. Came home from work and sat on the lounge, just like him. After a few glances my way, he tentatively asked "what's for dinner". My reply was I don't know, I'm not cooking. He got up and cooked himself.
Maybe you live alone because you refused to work together as a team. If you're wanting help in the kitchen, then get him to participate in making dinner instead of leaving him to fend for himself. Abandoning a responsibility is only going to cause problems and make the relationship fail.
