I would tell it, but I believe Jeff Foxworthy can tell it to you better, so I'll let him do it (watch from 6:48 to 7:40).
Or, let me sum up.
A woman does all the things and doesn't ask for or get recognition. A man does something as simple as taking out the trash, and expects praise for it for at least a week.
Which, heh, is a funny joke.
And I recently saw something similar in a Facebook group that I belonged to. That it was crazy about how much praise and recognition her husband expected to get for doing something little, while she was doing all the other work.
While, I understand she was trying to be funny, and rally the women of the group, and all that nonsense, it kind of irked me.
Because that's how I am.
If I'm super productive in a day, you can bet all the dollars that I will tell the Mister every single thing that got done when he gets home.
After going grocery shopping, I will either show him from the kitchen, or give him a "tour" of everything I picked up.
I've started some deep cleaning for the apartment (for moving purposes) and have shown him how much better the shower doors look with some scrubbing and bleach.
When I got my samba file share to work again after updating to Jessie (computer stuff that I got to work on my own, which I normally need help with), I made sure I told him I did it all by myself and that I did it without getting frustrated and giving up, even.
While it's all rather silly - to want it to be awesome that there is frozen ravioli in the freezer - it is a big deal to me.
That, yes, all those things that I've done mean something. And that they are appreciated.
And I'm also fairly certain that the Mister is tired of hearing about it.
Sucks for him, I guess.
