Maybe that’s the point, she would want to mow the lawn if you bought it.

Buy this LuxuryMower and your wife will want to mow the lawn. You can smoke a pipe and get some sun.

Yes that's the point, but the comment I'm replying to is complaining about ye olde gender roles, while I'm saying that those gender roles still exist.

Oh, I wasn’t trying to invalidate your point. Personally I’m into Star Trek style meritocracy. If your wife is a bodybuilder she isn’t going to need to ask you to open the jar lid for her.
