It's like Bill Burr says.."women are always patting themselves on the back and we let them...because we want to fuck them"

Not a chore? My wife won't clean up dog shit from the backyard. She won't take thie piece of shit for walks either. So tell me how that's not housework.

In any case - let's define housework as well. I don't vacuum, do laundry very much if at all. Know what I've done? Put in new floors, built a garden, all outdoor work, maintain vehicles to the best of my abilities (I'll take it in for complex stuff), replace lighting fixtures, outlets, plumbing (I outsource hard stuff, plumbing can ruin your house if you mess up..trust me), pet upkeep (feeding, walks, vet visits)...
So let's see them break up that. How many women now the lawn, out in floors, do demolition or repair things? Not many I reckon.
What EVER are lesbian couples to do without MEN to help take care of these things?
Get over yourself.
That's and exception, not the norm. And I'm still going to say not many. I'd also like to add, I have yet to see one female handyman or builder. They just don't get into that line of work because it's "men work". This is why they don't do it themselves either. I have yet to see a woman build a deck. I have.
I don't get your point. Your saying that the article should allow for people like you while simultaneously whining/bragging about how few people are like you?
That seems dumb. If you are such a rare deck buildin hoss of a unicorn why should the study include outliers like you with hobbies? That isn't housework.
Okay, complex issues like decks and installing floors not included, other maintenance tasks like auto repair, electrical work, plumbing, simple HVAC should be. As should outdoor work. Think it's easy building mumtiole garden boxes and putting a nice fence around it? Or cutting down tree branches or climbing on the roof cleaning out filth from the gutters? It needs to be defined, what is "housework"?

It is an equally amazing fact that gay and single men wear clean clothes, don't starve and generally have homes with an acceptable level of cleanliness.

Maybe they make their kids do it? Or have maids?

Either agree to outsource the work or don't marry an asshole.

I criticized the math then made a relatively significant math mistake myself. If American men are doing 15 minutes per day of housework, that would be 1.75 hours (not the 1.05 I said above). So, that would mean men are doing *more* than the 1.2 hours done by the enlightened Frenchmen. (But, again, we have the 0.8 figure floating around too. So who the hell knows.)

I suspect that as women earn more, more is spent on help. Thus, there is less work for the couple to do overall.
Also, face it. Most men are more tolerant of some degree of clutter than women are and are more likely to let it build and do it all at once one day a week. Doing it all at once does provide for some time economy of scale.
