Millennial men are cool with women leaning in at work and their wives paying half the bills just dont ask the same guys to do the dishes when they get home.

A new report from Gallup shows that women in marriages or cohabiting relationships are still more likely to clean the house , wash the dishes, do laundry, grocery shop, cook and make decisions about furniture and decorations even among younger generations who are otherwise more egalitarian in their views.

Men arent resting on their laurels entirely, but the few tasks they do pick up keeping the car in running condition and doing yardwork are traditionally male ones.

When it comes to child care, the survey found that young couples division of labor was more or less equal compared to older couples (though women were still likely to do more of it). And when both parents earn roughly the same income, men are more likely to help with washing dishes and cleaning, in addition to taking care of children.

Interestingly, perceptions about who does certain household tasks differ sharply by gender: Both men and women were each more likely to say that they perform an equal or larger share of the work than their partner does.
