Is this a real issue in the land of Domestic Bliss. I see them actually itemizing all of their chores and arguing over where it splits evenly and I’m like lol wtf? Btw women lose Attraction if you indulge them in these things.

afaik, many marrieds act as a 'team', and it seems to work out for them. Wife does chores that shes ok with and husband does ones he feels are T-forward like mow lawn, take out garbage or clean eaves. That said I have seen variations on this, for example, one guy I know who is a chef at a large hotel did all the kitchen stuff, cooking, dishes etc, and his wife was a botanist and teacher who did all the gardening stuff including mowing lawn and edging the flower beds. By all accounts, they are very happy together. Ive been to there place many times for dinner and they have a beautiful garden, and the dinners are outstanding with excellent wine pairings. Yet, it all seems so wrong.
there's like 10 levels to this. it's not just who does the chores. it's who asks whom. it's whether there's an expectation that one does chore x all the time if they agree to do it once or voluntarily do it once.

It’s also complicated by work demands: SAHM vs. BigLaw partner; two biglaw Ofs Counsel; part-time job vs. normal job. While men can often calibrate accordingly, many women do not factor this in and are overly focused on some mental scoreboard, ideas of “equality,” etc. Men are often painted as the selfish ones who sit and watch TV while women clean the kitchen for 2 hours and put the kids to bath and bed, but except for some ethnics I know, this is not IRL at all.
