Not true - I was the first to write and say that men regulary and willingly 
do clean-up here at Two Acre Wood.  If I think about it, I think it is 
heavily more males that do it.  Of course women do more of the cooking (not 
all by any means), but I think that is because they prefer cooking to 
clean-up - I know I do!

On the other hand we had an absolutely scrumptious Indian dinner tonight 
cooked by two men who worked on it all day - fabulous!
