I’m sure people, men and women, have lied on suveys. However, unless you have a study you can cite that proves “feminists” are the bigger offenders, I’ll just take that as one more of your misogynistic BS opinions.

And I’m sure your girlfriends have been broken up by your walking away. Such a tragedy to lose a gem like you. <sarcasm>

Here’s a better link: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/atus.nr0.htm

Per the link:

Among full-time workers (those usually working 35 hours or more per week), men worked longer
than women--8.4 hours, compared with 7.8 hours.

Men spent 36 more minutes per WEEK working than women who also work full time. Women who work spend 5.83 more hours per WEEK doing household chores.

No according to your link men worked 36 more minutes per day worked so probably about 3 hours a week more.

Every year Melinda and Bill Gates, write a letter outlining their philanthropic priorities. This year, she devoted her portion of the letter to the burdens of unpaid work on women. Melinda and Bill Gates - Time Poverty

Melinda Gates explains why 'time poverty' is one of the biggest challenges of the modern era - Business Insider

All over the world, women are doing work they're not getting paid for. In rich countries, it might be folding the laundry or staying home to take care of a sick child. In developing countries, unpaid labor tends to be more physically arduous, like hauling water and chopping wood. Wherever you are, it's considered women's work.

Women today will spend hundreds of thousands more hours than boys doing unpaid work simply because society assumes it's their responsibility. According to the OECD and other sources, women devote more time than men to chores in nearly every country. American women spend more than two hours daily on chores, compared to just 82 minutes for men.


"It ends up robbing women of their potential," Gates said. "This is a societal issue that in 2016 shouldn't exist anymore."

In virtually every country, men are able to fit in valuable extra minutes of leisure each day while women spend more time doing unpaid housework.

Do you live in a dump? It seems to need an awful lot of house repairs

I am from the era when a woman’s place was in the home, and the man was the breadwinner. In many cases, this worked fine.
Fast forward to now. Women have choices, which is great. If their family decides that someone should stay home and raise the kids, either the mother or the dad, then nobody should look down on them for doing so.
If I’m a kid, I want my mom or dad to be home to take care of me.

ROFLMAO So what's to miss? Catering to you?

As I said, men like you are narcissist. Look it up.... Overinflated feelings of self worth, behaves as if he is entitled, expectations of getting special treatment, and if for any reason his demands are not meet, then he becomes enraged. He appears or behaves in an arrogant, haughty, or condescending way towards people. Acts like a petulant child when doesn't get what he wants.
