Do Women Really Work More?

The hours may equal out - in this study, however there's a big difference between the two.

Spending those hours in an office or other workplace where your every move is monitored and you are required to observe mandatory rules, such as exactly one hour for lunch/strictly no alcohol/no video games during work etc.

OR when at home "working" where you can take a break whenever you like, wear what the hell you want, no one sticking their nose in your god damn business... the list is endless.

The thing I hate about these assumptions is that:

the majority of women don't work and take care of the home
the majority of men work and don't take care of the home

Therefore, the women who do work take care of the home as well and the men who don't work don't do anything. The second point comes from reading a few feminist forums, although I don't even think they can be called feminists.

There are plenty of people who do both and share their chores. We always hear about the worst of the worst (bad divorces, etc) but never about the happy couples who spend a lifetime together. Those people must be doing something right.

Averages.. yes. I don't think it's a problem if I work less than my partner and do more work at home. Or the other way around. However, if both work full time (8hrs/day) and only one person in the relationship cook/clean/wash and so on.. that's a problem. At least for the one doing the housework..
