I don't think that's a fair generalization. My W did a lot of the 'man' chores - mowing grass, weeding, etc. If you're trying to build up credit for what you do, that's never going to work. It's way more about your mentality as a man, not being a NGS, and taking care of your stuff, even if that means folding laundry. All about attitude and personality and how you carry yourself in all areas of life. The issue is that men become passive and domesticated rather than being alpha in all areas of life.
