Two things I don't understand.
First, are the women depicted in this comic stay at home moms? If so then yes, I would expect them to take care of the house. Regardless of gender. If they both have jobs, then the workload should be shared. It's not about gender. It's about distributing the work. If he goes to work 8 hours a day, she can work 8 hours a day. Staying at home and not doing anything is nothing short of disrespectful.
Second, the "mental load" of having to remember all those things isn't a herculean task. A calendar, a TODO list, a shopping list on the fridge are simple solutions which greatly reduce the load.

"Back when I was in my first job, a colleague invited me over for dinner." What do you think that tells you about their working background? Do they sound like stay at home mums?
- rootlocus 9y ago> Did you even read the comic? I confess to skimming the introduction, thank you for the clarification. > What do you think that tells you about their working background? Do they sound like stay at home mums? This is just flogging a dead horse. They aren't stay at home moms and I wholeheartedly agree the burdens should be shared equally, as I wrote in my original comment.
