    Hello, thanks for engaging, I know this is not my space and I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable. Firstly, I acknowledged that men generally do not do their share of the housework. The argument in the comic is that it’s not just the labor, but also the management work which needs to happen.

    It was the management that I was trying to address, and specifically, that maybe because nothing outside the house was mentioned in the comic, maybe the management of all of this stuff was simply invisible to the writer. My point was more that as partners, they need to talk to each other (and that’s on both of them). If you ask a husband and wife (eg, like in the comic) about anything and get two misaligned answers (“I do half the work”; “no he does not”), that means communication is not happening.
