yeah a guy who spends all week out doing hard manual labor (plumbing, roofing, tiling, concreting, mechanic, farrier) in the heat or cold, while his wife has a nice sit down job in air con, is totally unreasonable in thinking he can have a lie on the couch.
I reckon there's something about hard physical labor that keeps one's perspective on the value of a dollar. More women should try it. The calculus of "I have to shovel half a ton of gravel to buy that pair of red shoes" would help sort the oestrogen surges and retail therapy out quick smart.
