Even as their contributions to family incomes have grown in recent years, women in opposite-sex marriages are still doing more housework and caregiving than men, a report from the Pew Research Center has found.

Last year, 29% of marriages were "egalitarian," with husbands and wives each contributing roughly half of the couple's combined earnings.

But in "egalitarian marriages," wives are still spending more than double the amount of time on housework than their husbands (4.6 hours per week for women vs. 1.9 hours per week for men), and almost two hours more per week on caregiving, including tending to children.

The solution is for men to do more, not for women to lose their agency.

Correct, that's exactly what I said when I posted the NPR link.

It's still standard that women do more around the house than men do, but the solution isn't for women to stop working, it's for men to start working (around the house). Some men are doing their part, but they aren't in the majority. The alleged male loneliness epidemic won't go away until these men are willing to put in the same amount of work that women put in.

Quoting myself because some of you seem confused. Most of us who are pointing out that working women still carry the load at home aren't arguing in favor of "traditional" marriages. We're pointing out that there's no "winning" in the SAHM vs Working Mom argument, men will try to f**k us over no matter which "side" we choose.

Reject the idea that one side is better than the other, understand that we need to hold men to higher standards. And we're moving in the direction of holding men to higher standards, that's why so many of them are getting pissed off.

Wow, throw in laundry and go run on the treadmill for an hour. Throw in dryer and stream Netflix vids.

Why would you want a stressful professional job that kills you and makes you die early?

Gen Z women have figure out that the working world is overrated and for suckers.

It kills your brain cells, and dealing with children all day, even your own, can wear on you. Most people, women and men, don't absolutely love being with kids all day.

I've done it all - wohm, wfh, PT, FT, sahm. Yes, the stress went down when I became a sahm, but I also found my brain was atrophying. PT was the best of both worlds. However, once the kids hit MS, and they don't need you as much, you get bored. One can only do so much laundry and cleaning.

My sister is a care taker. Always has been. She desperately wanted to be a sahm with a small house. Didn't work that way for her. She divorced her deadbeat husband and became a single mom who had to work, starting from scratch because she had given up her career when she married her deadbeat husband.

Hyperbolic nonsense. My grandmother was one of the smartest persons I've ever met. She was stay at home wife. She read the news paper everyday and did crossword puzzles. She read books. She read national geographic. She'd meet up with local wives for games of bridge.

Working as a stay at home wife kills your brain cells only if you choose poorly, like virtually everything else in life. Dealing with kids is nothing compared to a soul sucking corporate job with stress levels through the roof. It literally kills you and makes you die early from heart attacks and stroke.

This is same generation complaining they can’t get jobs or afford to buy a house so good luck with all that.

No, “trad wife” isn’t a trend outside of religious extremist groups.

This ! It’s the weird Internet Vance dudes living in their parents basements.

No remotely surprising. Of course men want to keep women in the kitchen making them a sandwich.

F that noise.

My mom did say that being forced into a box was damaging to my grandmother. She was smart, even had a scholarship to school lined up, and her parents said no. It was the 1930s, maybe she could have been braver but she didn't have a lot of options.

I would advise my DD so strongly against such an arrangement. Economic independence means everything.

NP. The link does not say what OP claims, but to the extent this is true, it’s a reflection of the larger political schism between young men and young women, which is unprecedented in recent history.

Oh please do you read this forum? Many of the post are about only dating men who support traditionally gender - paying for the date, asking the woman out, etc, etc.
