Nowadays, both men and women work full-time. Therefore, they logically should share household tasks equally. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In many countries,

Hence

view to some extent.

First

of all, I admit that the idea mentioned in the question seems reasonable in an ideal circumstance. Having full-time

In conclusion,

although

I acknowledge that it is a good idea to encourage those working couples to share

duties equally, it does not make perfect logical sense to conclude that domestic chores should be equally divided without considering many factors mentioned in the body paragraph, only because men and women
