The commuting gap: men account for 65% of commutes lasting more than an hour

It's always men going through the hardships to get that coin; overtime, dangerous jobs, unsociable hours, working away sometimes weeks and months at a time (eg oil rigs etc), all because it is demanded from society: you ain't shit if you're not providing, your value is directly related to the money you make, and fuck you when you try to enjoy some of that money. And the reward? Courts will take half of your wealth and deny you access to your children.

Have they got stats on who is more likely (out of men and women) to work two jobs?

This is also why the whole "men receive more traffic tickets than women" narrative is flawed.

Yet another work related gap you'll never hear a feminist complain about.

And the social norm is for men to be expected to stand and give seats to women because women's comfort is valued over men's

Of course. Societal expectations make it essential for men to work while only optional for women to work. So women have the ability to take closer jobs, even if they earn less. And people tend to live closer to the wife's house, so that she can get more family time, cause female privledge

This is just dumb. If the wage gap for women is because they don't negotiate wages, ergo, their fault, the same is true for this then.

True. I commute 1h 10 minutes for one way, my wife - 15 minutes.

I take a five hour return trip via train to work everyday. Most of the regulars I see are also male. Employed in a male dominated field. I myself am in a stem field, most of my male friends have similar situations.

And then we get into more accidents ... and have to pay more in car insurance ... and then can't make child support payments, have our passports taken away and go to jail!

Using feminist terminology, it's "unpaid labor."

Blutarg · 2019-02-13T15:41:46+00:00

I didn't know that, but I sure am not surprised.

2.5-4 hrs a day of commuting currently.
