The issue of domesticated men is becoming rampant in recent years. Though a lot of older Nigerians are yet to accept this new development, the movement is prevalent among non-Nigerians.
However, even young people have differing opinions as to the acceptable extent of male domestication.

How do you feel about domesticated men? Domesticated men are very helpful and are like gold in a home. They help ease the duties between parents by sharing in all responsibilities.
If you met a man who prefers to do all the cooking, would you be fine with that? I enjoy cooking myself, so we may have to settle for taking turns. But generally it is a really good thing to have.
Do you have brothers? Yes I have brothers.
Were you raised the same way as your brothers? Were you given equal chores? Yes. My mother made sure chores were shared equally. Nobody got any easier chore or as society will say “gender specific chores”. We all did the same things.
How often do you meet (other) men who cook and clean? I don’t meet them often to be honest. They are very rare.

How do you feel about domesticated men?
I don’t think a man or even woman should be completely domesticated. He can always contribute to home management by also doing chores and cleaning up but that should not be all that he does all day.
Can you cook?
Yes, to an extent
If yes, would you marry a woman who cant since you can?
I can marry a woman who can’t cook but she has to be willing to learn and start cooking
How often do you meet other men who cook and clean?
Very often

How do you feel about domesticated men?
Every man should be a little domesticated. My mom raised 3 boys and taught us to clean.
Can you cook?
I can cook a few things for myself.
If yes, would you marry a woman who cant since you can? Cooking isn’t a necessity for me in marriage.
if we all can raise our children, both male and female equally in this regard, it will cause a great impact to d growth/peace of a family and d nation at large.
