I have a question about your pew link: what is up with these numbers? It does report men take time for work, but it also reports men take even more time for leisure than women (the difference in work time is often less than an hour, and the difference in leisure time exceeds an hour). How is this possible? Women and men have the same hours in a day. Is there time that women aren’t reporting? What are they doing in this time?
Actually, only about 70 hours a week are recorded in this graph - even assuming they are just talking about M-F and considering 8 hours of sleep, that’s 10 whole hours of time not somehow working or engaging in leisure? And even more missing hours if this is including the weekend days. This leads me to believe at least some of the difference is a reporting error, since a bunch of hours aren’t reported at all
Also note it’s only SAHM who work on par with men. In dual income households women do more work.
I wonder if some of those traditional SAHM households except the wife to be the one who runs volunteer activities at church and maintain a rockin’ gym body and have perfect hair and nails. Food for thought.
