I believe in traditional gender chores in my house because she sure as shit ain't going to take out the dead tree. That might work differently if you married a lumberjack (or even a farm girl). In any case, there's more to be done than housework. If you have a small apartment, I'm not sure what there is to fight about. One person can clean an apartment 2 people live in in. I have done it. It's 30 mins a day, tops.
