"Women Perform 66% Of Worlds Work, Earn 10% Of World's Income And Own 1% Of The World's Property" True?

Considering that in many countries they're still bound to the kitchen it seems highly unlikely that they perform 66% of the world's work. Not to mention that a lot of them work part-time in western countries as compared to men.

Since the first statistic is obviously flawed, it only leaves to question the other two...

Not to mention the criteria they used for this 'research' (how do you define property, on who's name does it go when married, etc)

Okay fairly obviously not true, but what's the best rebuttal that relies on actual statistical data?

No, but since when do feminists care about what is true? Was the "wage gap" true? Was the "1-in-4 women raped on campus" statistic true?

I don't know how they can compute the amount of work done by each gender, considering that most people live in developing countries and such statistics are not available there???

Regarding income and assets: most belong to corporations, which don't have a gender, so the stats are lying by omission (men's share is probably around the same as women's, the rest belonging to corporations).

What we do know however is that women make ~80% of buying decisions..
