Why is it OK for me to hire an employee and give them money in exchange for doing what I want, when I'm not willing to take money from them in exchange for doing what they want?
Why is it OK for me to work full time while my husband takes care of our household, when I'm not willing to take care of the household while my husband works full time?
Why is it OK to have sexual relations where what I want to do is different from what I want done to me?

Or are all of those things unfair and immoral also?

Or is this notion of "priority" in a relationship somehow the most important thing ever, such that nobody could ever consider other things more worth having?
