Please. Just stop.

I have to say that in my houee, I do most of the xmas preparations (not because OH is lazy, he just works every hour g8d gave him) and working in retail, I do have to agree that the xmas shopping is largely a womens thing.

...yeah, me too..we quite often do shopping together and especially at Christmas...I do, do things that he doesn't particularly enjoy..he hates dressing the tree for instance..but he usually cooks quite a lot of the Christmas dinner, and cooks a lot in general...so it's all fairly even I would say....

Yeah, we're pretty much the same, although he probably does more of the house stuff than me as he's at home more because he's on call for work rather than being at work, if you know what I mean. That's how it is now, when the kids were younger he used to work on building sites and I worked part time so I did more around the house then. We just adapt as our situation changes

Yeah, I have to say in Daves favour, although he works ridiculous hours, he's not shy when it comes to helping out. He does the Asda shop every Sunday and I know if I'm working and he's off, I'll come home to a clean house.

Well, that's what it's all about really Lee imo. It should never come down certain stuff being "a womans job" or "a mans job" it should be both people doing what's best for the family.

men do often wash, which proves these ads do not represent reality at all. in fact a vast proportion of homes have machines that wash all clothes and dishes and dry them all too, again ignored by these biased out dated anti male adverts

Men Behaving Sadly
The Age - Wednesday, 8th December 1999

Why does nobody care about men killing themselves? There's immense public concern about youth suicide. Australia has spent more than $31million over the past four years to try to reduce our high suicide rates among the young. There's much angst about Aboriginal deaths in custody, and even gay youths are finally being acknowledged as a group at risk. But when it comes to blokes, ordinary adult men killing themselves in ever-increasing numbers, there's no interest.

Our health departments have spent the past few years studiously ignoring the growing evidence that adult men aged 25-44 are most at risk - as confirmed by figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics last week. In 1998, men in this age group had the highest suicide rate of all Australians, followed by men aged 15-24. Elderly men, 75 and over, who traditionally have the highest rate, in that year fell into third place.

Males are four times more likely than females to take their own lives.

While there's good reason for concern over the tripling of youth suicide rates over the past 30 years, in the past decade the youth rate has virtually levelled off while suicide rates for males aged 25-44 continue to rise. In 1990 the rate for this latter group was 27 per 100,000. In 1998 it hit 37.

Men's health activists and suicide researchers have long been trying to convince health authorities that blokes are in trouble. A recent Australian Medical Journal article by Dr Chris Cantor from the Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention at Griffith University made a strong case that these high-risk men should be targeted by suicide-prevention policies.

But so far there's little sign that anyone is listening. Early this year, the Health Minister, Michael Wooldridge, sought community reaction to a draft national action plan for suicide prevention. All the politically sensitive groups rated a mention - young people, gays, Aborigines - but not a word on programs targeting men, let alone the vulnerable 25-44 group.

Men's health initiatives announced recently by the federal Department of Health and Aged Care fail to include any proposals to deal with this issue. In fact, there is active resistance among health policy bureaucrats to funding any research that identifies suicide as a "male" issue. The standard line is that targeting male suicide is inappropriate because females attempt suicide even more often than males. The fact that men are four times more likely to make a proper job of it is dismissed as irrelevant.

Urgh, people will complain about anything nowadays, if the advert showcased a man faffing about in a panicky manner cooking the christmas dinner no doubt people would complain
