After finishing a hearty meal of chicken pot pie from scratch, David Blakely started on the day's dirty dishes.
He rejected offers of help from his two children. He said, they made a great meal for me and so I will do the dishes.
Blakely appeared to start out lightheartedly, a smile on his face as he responded. His words were surprisingly serious.
He said, "I always remember as a child my father taught me that there's no such thing as women's work. Men can do the dishes. He literally said they're going to figure out how a man can give birth and then we should be doing that work too. There isn't anything that only a girl should do."
Blakely looked right at his daughter as he said this.
In no time at all Blakely finished the dishes and while he did not look ecstatic, he looked no worse for wear.
