According to a study in New York  for heterosexual couples, most Americans still believe in the traditional division of household labour between husbands and wives and they think the ‘more masculine’ partner and the ‘more feminine’ partner should generally be responsible for stereotypically male and female chores.


Natasha Quadlin, the lead author has stated that nearly three quarters of our respondents thought that the female partners in heterosexual couples should be responsible for cooking, doing laundry, cleaning the house and buying groceries, a Quadlin, is also a doctoral student in sociology at Indiana University.


Quadlin has noted that nearly 90% of our respondents thought that heterosexual men should be responsible for automobile maintenance and outdoor chores, regardless of the partner’s relative income or gendered hobbies and interests, our respondents gravitated toward the person’s sex instead.


When respondents were asked to assign tasks between same-sex partners, traditionally female chores were generally given to the more feminine partner and male tasks were typically assigned to the more masculine partner and women in heterosexual relationships were also expected to handle the majority of childcare tasks.
