VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Matt Westwood|DATE|1378974213|CONTENT|Are women *still* utterly emotionally hogtied by such trivial rubbish as &quot;you don&#039;t bring me flowers any more&quot;?

&quot;I work between 12 and 15 hours a day so as to pay for the new kitchen you insisted we buy because Sarah Beeny sneered at someone&#039;s kitchen on TV that looked a bit like ours did as &quot;dated&quot;. There&#039;s an entire wardrobe in the bedroom full of impractical, ugly, useless and (above all) expensive garments which you insist you have *got* to have but then you never wear. (Your retail addiction is, of course, a function of how bored you are, but you never do anything interesting like take up a hobby or a course of education, or even scan the job market for a job to earn a little pin money.) And then you complain that I don&#039;t bring you *flowers*?&quot;

Excuse my jaundiced view, but while it&#039;s fashionable to whinge on and on about the shortcomings of men in the domestic situation (backed up of course by the egregious way men are protrayed in TV advertisements), it does rather go two ways.|EMAIL|prime.mover@proofwiki.org|IP-ADDRESS|94.6.166.145|MODERATIONFLAG|
