            Real men don't do laundry. Real men burn their dirty clothes in the back yard. You can always tell a real man's house by the thick plume of smoke out back on laundry day. Real men buy new clothes every week, which real men can afford to do on a real man's salary.

            Real men don't need a woman to cook or clean, and when real men get horny, real men cum in their own mouths.

                  You realize you've come very near the straight guy dream in that statement, right? You just forgot that we have favorite, comfortable clothes that women keep trying to throw out, burn, or otherwise get rid of. Oh and the lesbians should be hot and of a mind to have after work sex within a short distance of our favorite chair.

              To be fair, bulk socks are $1/pair. Calculating in a decent wage, soap, water, electricity, environmental impact, depreciation on washer and dryer, opportunity costs and economic benefits of keeping sock makers employed, it sure seems like buying new is at least competitive if not a superior option.

      Pshaw, there's a compelling financial reason to only make laundry smell like fru-fru stuff or there would be awesome scents as well is all I'm saying.

      As for dishes, I have a solution there but it's not easy to implement. Having had to sub for an absent dishwasher at the hotel I worked at for a while once or twice, I found out that if you have an enormous sink, a wicked high pressure, hot as hell spray hose, and an industrial dishwasher, washing dishes is actually enjoyable. We found the sink (three deep and wide sinks with a couple feet of stainless counter on each side that drains into them, one piece) for a really good price but we're still working on the dishwasher and ubersprayer.

        Rinse dishes immediately after use, and allow to soak until you get around to doing dishes. If your nasty bowl/plate/whatever is just kept wet, it easily scrubs clean even if you don't wash for a week. Pots and pans may be less cooperative, depending on how badly you manage to burn things.

        I will NEVER try to clean up a kitchen where no one even rinses their stuff after eating.

          With a commercial setup like I mentioned, it takes maybe five minutes worth of work on your part and about the same running a few racks of dishes through the commercial dishwasher to have several cabinets worth of shiny, clean dishes. Zero scrubbing. It's truly a miracle of technology.

        > ...ubersprayer

        After years of denial, I finally gave in and joined the rest of the local suburbanites--bought a pressure washer (we had a lot of Sears points to use up before the local store closed).

        It's pretty amazing. Assuming you can set up a suitable splash shield or floor drain, it would get your dishes clean with very little effort. Wear a heavy rubber glove on the hand that holds the dishes so you don't damage your skin with an accidental spray.

        As well as the normal cleaning targets (gutters and sidewalks under a locust tree covered in green slime--cleaned right up), I've cleaned all kinds of things:
            The aluminum extrusion shower door has recesses that resist any other form of cleaning, but the gunge was gone in a few seconds (took a few minutes to take the door off and then reinstall).
            A number of scrub brushes that were black at the base of the bristles came out sparkling.

              Our 110VAC pressure washer listed for about USD $180 at Sears, outdoor cleaning would go faster with a bigger one, but for occasional use it is fine. It came with several nozzles, I normally use the 15 deg fan, but the wider fan (45 deg?) is much lower pressure and covers a wider swath. A really cheap one might be just the ticket for dishes....

              If you've ever used the eraser tool in Paint, a pressure washer on dirty sidewalk or gutters is like that. Where ever you wave it gets clean. If you don't overlap strokes perfectly, then there is a line of dirt left.

        Okay, now I am jealous of your sink. I know well the gear of which thou sings the praises, from my long-ago stint as a professional dishwasher. (But not the lowest man on the totem pole; that was my assistant.) It's truly magical to watch gross disgusting dishes go in one side, and pristine shining dishes come out the other.

        I wonder if it would work with carp? go in one side as gross disgusting bottom feeders; come out the other side as catfish. Mmmm. catfish.

          Want me to make it worse? The Roomie picked it up on the FaceButt Sell Your Crap thing for about what you'd pay for a shitty little kitchen sink at Home Depot. Three sink bays that will each fit the biggest pots, pans, and cutting boards we have and two feet or so of space on either side that has two or three inches of raised lip around it so you could wash anything that didn't fit too. Best bachelor sink ever.

    If you parse 'equality' as meaning equal in every conceivable way, then no two people are equal.

    The sort of equality relevant to people is in the context of politics. Politically equal. Legally equal. That's all.

    It doesn't mean one person isn't smarter, or stronger, or better looking than the next. But regardless of any inequalities in other areas, each of us gets one vote, and it should be the same law that applies to everyone, no matter who or what they are.
