I was 1being sarcastic dohabunny, but maybe not sarcastic enough. I did make a point of saying "grown adults", although I will concede that giving birth has generally being "women's work". Men don't seem to have co-opted that task just yet.

Sarcasm aside, I don't think housework is men's work or women's work. It's house work that could easily be done by anyone of either gender with the time and motivation. I don't begrudge anyone the luxury of having a maid, but I do get ticked off with the notion that a maid is some sort of basic human right, and the government needs to ensure that they remain affordable.

If you can't afford the fees that the recruitment company charges you to bring in a maid, you're too poor to have a maid. End of story.
