I think women have dirtier hands because we wipe more baby butts.

This article is stuuuuupid! It makes the point that most of the bacteria on the skin are harmless or beneficial. What we want to know is how many *pathogens* are on whose hands. Women may well be more healthy for their bacteria.

But I'm totally with you, ooh_food. (supressing urge to make another feminist rant on cleaning.)

That is an antiquated sexist remark... I am a stay at home dad (10 month old daughter). I know it's not the "norm", but I have 7 friends who are also stay at home dad's.

Those have GOT to be Manor Hall chips XD They're identical! (I used to work in a design store that sold and mixed them.)
