Man, this is antiquated. However, I see a lot of this here in Romania. As far as any women's lib is concerned this lovely country is often in the dark ages. Men expect women to be FT professionals, raise children, and have dinner ready at 8. My wife and I joke she couldn't have married a Romanian man because she doesn't cook or clean. I love to cook. I'm not sure what she does, which is probably why she laughs harder at these kinds of jokes than I do.
