It's all about perception Raven. I don't look at my wife as being inferior, and I think that I should share in the joys and responsibilities of taking care of a household/family. However, over the years (many years!), the role that women play in everyday life has been trivialized, when really - we couldn't exist without them. Many men look at staying home and cooking and cleaning as a job of less importance then working a 9 - 5. And when both man and woman work full-time, the woman's job is more or less trivialized as well, even if they hold similar job titles.
