Getting a * good deal* like women claim. They always bring up the same set of things that they do us. Here is the deal it’s just not true. Yes our mothers offered all those perks to our dads. Our wives are not. And I am glad they are not because we should be contributing equally to everything. But women today (and in a way I feel bad) are under immense pressure from society (or maybe feminists ) to seek their own happiness (which is good) and men as a result are under a microscope.

I did everything on that list every week except meals and those we ordered from a company. I also taught the kids and earned half the money. I don't understand what men want women to be these days. Women are doing most of the working in the US now and the childrearing. What exactly do men bring to the table comparatively if and I repeat if they aren't making more than the median income? The median income is about $150k around here I believe. What does a guy making say $100k bring to a marriage compared to a woman making the same?

This actually isn't true. Reputable studies show that in married couples, men do more work overall when taking into account work outside and inside the home. Look up the Pew studies on working. Women work more hours on average in the home, which is why it seems to women that they do more work--because they don't see the greater amount of work being done by men outside of the house. Of course, this is just averages, and I'm sure we'll get lots of anecdotal responses here from women who swear they do so much more than their husbands.

Post the study. Love to know the breakdown of office work, housework, kid work, personal time, sleep, sitting on a plane, eating.

I know what it’s in our two income hosuehold.

Your response is the anecdotal stuff I mentioned. I’m sure you perceive yourself as working more overall. Whether that’s true in your case is beside the point.

I didn’t read this whole study, but at first glance, it does show men with children as having more leisure time than their wives.

That's because "leisure time" is defined narrowly to certain categories of non-working activities. That doesn't mean that mean work less. You can see from the study that married men work slightly longer hours (at home and out of the home) overall, on average, than married women.

I thought it was just because women need more sleep than men do on average.

Lol.

Men get way more sleep and personal time per 24 hour period than a working mom with kids.

Over their lifetimes, women on average sleep thousands more hours than men.

Per year average or total hours of sleep in a lifetime (regardless of age at death)?

I think they first net out golf, sports TV and Netflix then do the math. Lol

This is the truth and what my spouse and I share. We wake up everything morning thinking “What can I do today to make my love’s day a little better?”

Sure, but your same-sex spouse does not count.

I feel the same thing about women and marriage.

I didn't want to get married until I met the right person. 17 years and two kids later she's still the right person.

Women sleep 20 minutes more than men. Over a lifetime that's many thousands of hours.

I think men would be doing women a great service by not getting married anymore. You all can just stare at your phones or video games all day and eat pizza for all three meals.

Lifelong companionship and hopefully love and a family unit. Wife plays the nurse role in old age then she is on her own to figure it out for herself.

Women just want the 100 percent of modern systems, machines and all of modern life that men invented/created and does repairs on. Men should check out and let it all fall apart. That would be a great movie as women get angrier and angrier as the years go by.

The kids don’t help? That makes everything seem like a waste.

Women would manage just fine. Plenty of handy and inventive women out there. And if the fields weren't crowded with mysoginistic men, there would be more.

Ah they’re not counting the two hours in the chair or sofa couch at 9pm! Or all those weekend afternoon naps to avoid the kids or schedule.

What on earth would the men do if all the screens were broken?
They’re too out of shape and mushy to do any basic survival skills. Even if they knew any.
