* This has been implied as the norm in the ''[[Discworld]]'' City Watch, even after the introduction of female recruits. Mrs. Palm was noticablynoticeably [[Squick]]ed by the canteen in ''[[Discworld/Feet of Clay (novel)|Feet of Clay]]'', and Sam Vimes was clearly distressed in ''[[Discworld/Thud|Thud!]]'' when his wife Sybil actually ''washed the tea urn.''
* [[Dave Barry]] mentions sharing an apartment with a fellow young male. It lacked furniture, but this allowed them to play Indoor Ricochet Death Frisbee. Another one is when a reader tells him he has boxed up a ton of old junk and arranged the boxes into ugly brown furniture. His girlfriend fails to see the simple genius of this arrangement, obvious to any male.
* Keisha refers to this in ''[[Heralds of Valdemar|Owlsight]]'', when she thinks back to when the village women cleaned up Justyn's old cottage. She concedes that he kept the treatment areas clean, but the living areas .... Later, when she first sees Darian's home in the new Vale, she can't believe at first that a single male lives there because it's so clean. (Darian does not score any aversion points, since the ''hertasi'' clean the place for him.)
