Wow, what a shitty answer, and I side eyeing the third paragraph hard. Doyin doesn't say he actually does anything with their puppy, just that "I promised I would and my wife caved and now we have a dog and she totally loves it! :)" That's an ultimatum a lot of people have given and, at least in my experience, has never been true.

I do think it's kinda a leap to say "It's just like how women are expected to have children", because there are a lot of other sexist issues mixed up into that, but I totally understand the LW's frustration.
