answer to your question is within your post! heh
It does seem like people argue over who is doing more, or at least who should be doing more (I work longer hours than you, yadda yadda).
I think for many of us in the younger crowd, the problem is we are coming from a generation where our parents didn't teach us to do many things (that at least, in the past, young girls were taught to do by their mothers), and many parents do everything for us. My mom to this day is always wanting to do things for me, though I stop her a lot of the time. Luckily she did teach me a few things so that makes it so that I am alright at chores, and not a total slob.
Another part of it is also mindset. Those people who feel everything has to be neat all the time are more likely to pick up the slack and do things.
All I know is that if I have kids I will try and teach them to do several things that no-one ever taught me to do, and more importantly, enjoy as part of regular activities (take ironing), because it will better prepare them to harmoniously share a home with a SO.
