Editor’s note: this post is primarily of interest to my academic colleagues, if that’s not you, don’t worry, we’ll be back with more media theory next week.
Have you considered adding stereotypical male things, if it changes the expected housework share? As in mess in kitchen and cleaning => women's job and mess in garage/shed and house repairs => men's job?
That would be a fun extension. We focused on living rooms and kitchens because cleaning and cooking constitute a much larger share of total housework, and that's also where men's uptake has been the slowest to change (especially cleaning).
