Yeah, the whole 'men are lazy pigs' subtext is a bit uncalled for.
When Magpie and I moved in together we decided up front who'd be responsible for what. It's not hard and fast, but the general rule was that I'd handle cooking, laundry, cat related chores and cleaning the bathroom, while she'd do.. pretty much the rest of it. It's not a big apartment.
Right now I actually handle more of the chores. I've been cleaning the kitchen most nights and doing the sweeping/vacuuming/mopping on top of my regular stuff. Then again, I'm not working right now and she is, so I really don't mind. Once I'm in school it'll change again.
