That's good, but are they promoting gender equality or just avoiding the fray?

I've unnerved more than a few friends (men and women) by pointing out that unless you believe that men who earn less than their female partners aren't failures or mooches, that men aren't "helping out" their female partners by doing the laundry or taking care of the kids, you don't get it.
