That is an interesting bit of introspection.
Lot of that going around the last 48 hours. Just ask Sally Quinn.
Not being a woman myself and not trying to sound sexist in this post, I would consider the following.
Modern life offers many things making the domestic side of life easier and more efficient.
Dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, washers and dryers, swifters, self scrubbing cleansers, cellphones, internet shopping, strip malls with a dry cleaner at every corner, One stop shopping stores, 2 cars in every garage, etc etc.
I suggest that these things have allowed for the modern woman more time for other things in her life.
