OK, I am highly amused by your personal theory on this one... that's just damned funny. (And channeling June Cleaver is a downright scary proposition! But I can see it happening, too...) Bahahahaha!

I can see this happening. However, with me working 40 hours weeks and Mr. Micah teaching college (only 10 hours max outside the home) he does most of the housework. I just ask him to do one chore at a time and he seems happy to help. I do things periodically... But if I become a writer and he takes on a heaver courseload, I can see that reversing. -MM Hmm.

That could be a factor since I would assume that older couples would be more likely to have a traditional gender divide of for labor and be more likely to be married. And gay men living in squalor? Hmmmm... many keep fabulous households, but then again, I remember I lived with another gay man in college and we rented the extra bedroom out to a staight pothead. He said that he thought we'd be all neat and clean but then realized from us that that was a stereotype, lol. He was actually the cleanest one of all of us, and we were the gay non-drug users!
