Well... I think that males are a subspecies and aren't really equal to females... But, I don't think that is really what the OP wanted to know.
But, being married and having to homeschool, we have a very traditional family. DH does the cars and that stuff and I do the cooking and bills and stuff. I cook because we have to cook from scratch (dietary issues) and I am home to do it. I don't like to do it, but that is what I need to do and so I do it. We homeschool because our children would not fare well in a classroom with 30 other kids. We owe it to them to give them as good of a start as we can. When the boys were little, I worked at night and DH worked during the day (and he still does). When I couldn't take working at night anymore (sleep deprevation gets bad after 6.5 years), I quit. But, before I quit, I made sure I paid off everything I could. I got everything paid off but the house. We have a 15 year loan on it and, you know, I couldn't take it any more. I was way too tired and exhausted.
