Battle of the sexes

Last updated: 30 Aug 2009
Woman doing housework around lazy man Should women relent on asking their partners to do the housework?

Would women have an easier life if they gave up the fight to force to men to pick up their dirty socks? Have your say

Arch feminist author Fay Weldon has sparked a new battle of the sexes by claiming women should get on with picking up their mens' socks, cleaning the toilet and making their coffee - because if they don't do it no-one will.

She says forcing men into domesticity is futile and that it's much easier for women to just do the chores themselves.

Do you agree with this view? Are you tired of arguing about your man's mess? Or are you outraged at the suggestion of cleaning up after them? We'd love to hear from you. Post your comments below or email us using the form
