I've travelled a number of countries and seen a common thing about men of all countries and women of all countries. The woman takes charge of everything and the man would lie cosily in his lazy chair, reading his newspaper and fall asleep through most sounds except barking dogs.
I happen to ask a woman why this is so and she said, women like to work.
From the way this is phrased, I bet this woman was not an American. It is my observation that women like to work about as much as men like to work, and for pretty much the same reasons. I will make a further guess that whatever area this woman was from, in that area, women are still struggling to be viewed as human beings that are not inherently lesser than men.
I think that women are generally less easily satisfied, and as a result, have a keener sense of what needs to be done to make things better. A bachelor's house is usually messier than a house with a lady in it because a bit of grime actually does not bother a male, whereas a female might be afraid to sit on the couch unless the house is fairly clean.
If a person is truly satisfied with their surroundings, they will do nothing to change those surroundings. It is the dissatisfaction that motivates people to change things.
It is more in the females nature to not be happy, and more in the males nature to be happy. This balances things out well because without the females, the males might still be perfectly content still living in caves and hunting for food - although they likely would also have gotten to the moon just to prove they could. The females, in contrast, need the males to remind us to slow down and enjoy life, and laugh sometimes. With a nod to feminism, I agree that every woman does not need a man to be happy - but men do make happiness easier for women to achieve. Thank goodness that men were made to be more readily attracted to women or you might not bother to go through all that to try to attract our attention without distracting us from our various missions in life.

The ideal for a couple is when each have the same destination in mind but different skill sets to get there, and by combining their skill sets and working together, they both get to a better destination than they each could have gotten to individually.
