roles ...

i'm not about to submit a letter of resignation and go home to follow these rules ... but if you eliminate the male/female roles in this article, aren't these good rules for both spouses to try to live up to? i love it when my man has dinner and a glass of wine waiting for me when i get home and gives me some time to unwind ... or gives me time to go out with the girls for a night. and i know he appreciates it when i do the same for him. so (apart from the sexist tone) are these 'rules' really that bad?
