Should we also get up on a Saturday morning and rake leaves, cut grass, or shovel snow???
What do you think??

The simple fact of the matter is that a lot of women are single and staying single in this day and age. IT's not really fair to say we women expect that, or even most women expect that. A single woman who owns the house looks to no one but herself to complete those tasks. And it's not an uncommon situation.
In terms of a marriage, once again it's about equity. For some people, maybe the man will feel more comfortable doing the yardwork. Some couples do the yardwork together. Or they pay someone else to do it. It's about a balance- I doubt that the man who does ALL the yardwork is also expected to shoulder ALL the cooking or ALL the childrearing, etc.
