Eric Siu argues that household responsibilities should match financial arrangements. If both partners work demanding jobs, neither can expect stay-at-home partner privileges without the corresponding financial support.

If you want a traditional wife, then be a traditional man. And I'm talking about obviously heterosexual relationships here. You cannot ask for stay-at-home wifey privileges if you don't have stay-at-home wifey money. You want me to clean the kitchen? I'm happy to clean the kitchen if I get to wake up at 10, I get to clean the kitchen, I get to go lounge by the pool, and then you come home at night. Like, sure, no problem. But if I'm waking up at the crack of dawn with you, we're both going to our 2 very demanding jobs and then coming home, don't ask me for anything you're not willing to do.
