I think you'll find the examples you give are quite different.
Men traditionally have not done the washing because it is beneath their contempt, it is women's work. A proper man would not do his own washing for fear of being called a big girl's blouse.

Now as for reading maps (personally I pride myself on being able to read a map) - if women CANT read maps because of a fault in their brain, that's something they have no control over. It's not the same as it being beneath them to do such a thing.

AND another thing
Wiring a plug. This is another thing I can do, yes. Any woman could, but the information about wiring plugs has been willfully withheld from women by men. THis is because Electricity is men's work. It's dangerous. It requires manly tools like a screwdriver. In my parent's house, my mother wouldn't REFUSE to change a plug, she would naturlaly hand it over to my father because it's man's work.

Either you have picked poor examples, or you have no argument and the washing thing touches a raw nerve with you (joke.)

(Anyway I am lazy and my boyfriend always puts the washing on. I always hang it up on the radiators and put it away. How very egalitarian.)
