Study finds women don't really work more than men

Article here.

There's a common belief that women work more than men because in addition to their jobs, they do most of the housework. This study found that while women do more work at home, averaged together men and women do on average the same hours of work per week. Of course it doesn't point out the obvious, that more hours on home-work and less on market-work means lower income.

Excellent study, debunking the feminist myth about women's "double shift" that we have been bamboozled into believing for forty years!

Sadly, the study did not take into account the extra work all men in relationships with a female have to do...

Putting up with the infantile, arrested-development domestic goddess he foolishly inseminated and tragically invited into his home is the hardest part of his work day.

For most men, there is no sanctuary from the Matriarchy.

DTB, bros!

You know, fixing the broken light switch, shoveling the driveway in the winter and re-tarring it in the spring, building the new deck, painting the siding, replacing the worn out sliding doors, fixing the broken toilet, maintaining the cars, maintaining the computers and the home network, cleaning out the chimney, fixing the broken step on the front porch, and on, and on, and on...

In fact it is true that, according to studies quoted by Warren Farrell in "Women Can't Hear What Men Don't Say", when work BOTH inside and outside the home is taken into account,
men work several MORE hours per week than women. It was also found that in the past, men have typically not counted certain things as "work" in previous studies; such as packing for vacation, raking, taking out the trash, driving the family, etc. (and they do count driving the kids as work when the mother drives, say during the day, to school or whatever; as well as they count driving time for the mother running errands). Also, from my own observations, men are more likely to drive a greater portion of trip than the wife, on long traveling vacations taken in the car.
I don't recall if Farrell said so or not, but it is my suspicion that most of these studies on this issue, are/were designed (either intentionally or not) to be self-reinforcing, i.e. to confirm what "everyone knows", that the woman does more work. This is implemented by asking leading questions of women, probably questions like "how many hours per week do you spend driving the kids"; whereas they fail to ask men "how many hours per week do you spend doing yardwork (mowing, raking, etc.)". I would even go so far as to speculate, that many of these "studies" have been designed, implemented and or influenced by various feminist pigs, honorary women, and other women and "female-thinking-type" people such as most psychologists and social workers (many of these last, I am sure, are well- intentioned, but do not recognize their biases)
