Uphill Struggle

What a chore? It's like pushing water up hill. Not literally you fool. It's more akin to training men in leaving the loo seat down or being on time for supper.
We are really talking about bad habits here, not actually trying to reverse water's natural flow.
Women on the other hand generally maintain they have few or none of these petty vices. Their discretions tend to be more dramatic - crashing the car in the supermarket parking lot or eloping with the fitness instructor perhaps?
Reversing these tendances is far more challenging - more like
turning the tide maybe!
Too sexist?
