In Russia am told that most men look after household chores while women work in offices. I dont know how far its true. What would this world be if this happened throught the world. What positives and negatives do u foresee if such a thing happend in real

considering that both are unisex tasks, I don't see why it would be a problem.

I think you're underestimating them. I know that my husband is much more tolerant of children than I am, and more patient with them. I'm always glad to be able to go home and leave them with their parents.

Certain jobs need patience and tact to handle, like raising kids... i dont think men can do it as well as women.. nature made both men and women differently

No offense, but i think that would mean that women would be men, grosse and men would be women, then. Really confussing. TATA.

The same thing that is happening right now...only thing is that the roles might be reversed. Both men and women would be frustrated...but the reasons would be different. I don't see any positive or negative in just men doing the jobs the women are doing or women doing the jobs men are doing. Would it make things better or worse in any way? Household chores are things that men and women CAN do (whether either one does it or not is a different issue)....what difference does it make if the man does it or the woman...or both of them together do it (which seems like the best option..division of labour and each one can do what they are good at or like to do). Men and women nowadays work outside the home and I see no issues in that either as long as each one is doing a job of their own choosing and not being forced by the other.

But by nature women are endowed with certain powers like patience and endurance. Men fall flat in a crisis situation. So there are certain work which women alone can do, like raising a kid. Its not a simple job. But they do it silently without a word of complaint. i dont think men hav the patience to raise his own kid. think over

i believe the man should be the head breadwinner. as much as i like him to help in the kitchen and even cook, i think the woman is the one in the kitchen. we shouldn't reverse roles. i believe the man is the head. he should be going out to the job. the woman too, especially today needs to work. it shouldn't be her role, however when they are together to make sure the money comes in. i'm not saying that we as women don't have a say, we certainly do and should. i believe we as women should be independent to a certain extent, however, we are not men. the man should lead. this is my opinion. i don't think others agree with me, however, this is my opinion here in the US.

Yes u have the most traditional thought.. yes men are more suited to wokk outside while women shine inside the house and there is no inferior conplex in either work. they suppliment each other

Hmmmm, then men would take the responsibility to look after the kids, cook food, wash laundry, iron clothes, do the chores like cleaning the house and the yard. Well, i don't think so they will be efficient when it comes to such because most women can do better or should i say the best when it comes to this. I don't belittle the capacity of men, but taking care of kids when they are not used of doing, changing diapers, giving them a bath whewwi might have imagine that hubby would be giving sweets like ice cream a lot just to keep them company. I am not aware of that in Russia if it's really true. But women can help their spouses also although we work double like taking care of the family and work extra for money. Even if at times, we are least appreciated by our spouses

I think man cant do ceratin things that women do perfectly, like looking after the house etc etc... that's why nature made man and women different

I agree both of you, man and women are born of different responsibility. That is why men could not bear the baby.It will waste their capacity if we put them in the role of women. However if their regulation are there, the men are shamed to work outside.

I don't have any qualms about it.in fact I think it's cool that most husbands stay at home and look after the household.for me,it doesn't make them less manly.it is actually more manly for me since they are brave enough to break the stereotype of "men should be the providers,women should look after the household".in fact,I like men who can cook.

Yes its the wish of every women to have an hubby who helps her in her house work. It doesnt happen usually though... yet nature made man and women differently...

i can see men cooking that's easy, but not much on the cleaning thing. then again i would luv a bloke who is house trained!!!! plus look after kids even better. considering it is becoming a normal thing now for woman to be out working and men staying at home. i think there will always be times when it is better just to get a bloke to do something for you instead. i don't like letting men help change the car tyre, might be a bit different now i have a 4wd and it's bigger than my car. but i'd still be giving it my best shot.

Well that's something I never heard of before. I would love to find out if it's really true there in Russia. I really can't see it ever happening here in the United States. Men love to be out of the house too much.

For me it's just fine because only the gender is the difference between woman and man. As of now many are woman who work outside like in the office or we called them career woman. What man can do same as the woman can do also. And it is also depends on the capacity of both. If the wife has more than capacity to the husband and have great opportunity why not she accept the job. And most men now are working as a chef in the hotel and restaurant. So when they are home and have time they do the same inside the house and it will be like forever. For me nothing is wrong. Have a nice day!

Not just the gender even nature differs. So men are suited for a particular type of work while women are suited for some..

That is a cretive idea to think. Congrats my friend for thinking out of the box. I will appreciate that. I think it will be put more tension on me thiking that I am the bread winner of the family. But, I am sure that the families will like it for the good food the men prepare. Men are good cook compared to women. At the same time I will feel for my husband for wasting his PHED in kitchen.

Dnt u feel like taking responsibilties in life? i know its not easy to reverse roles because nature created man and women differently

I think our society has changed and the roles have also. I know several stay at home dads because the jobs aren't available for them, but the jobs are out there for their wives. I don't see a problem with it, I don't see any major positives or negatives. All I see it as a couple working together to raise their family. I don't see any major globel shift other than women are generally paid less then men are.

its not out of choice that men are working inside the kitchen. they are forced to work bcause of lack of jobs.. but if he relinquishes his job and then takes care of his home while is wife works outside is what we want to see...how he manages to handle

There is no difference. Men are good in the house works too.

Yes some men can do household work well but not on a regular basis... some jobs need patience to handle and women can do that job well
