Women Are Still Doing Most of the Housework
Time ^ | June 18, 2014 | Alexandra Sifferlin

Women are still pulling more weight around the house than men, according to the American Time Use Survey data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Wednesday. However, men are starting to pick up the slack.

The BLS data reveal how much time Americans spent on various activities last year, from household work to leisure and sports — as well as time spent providing childcare.

Here are some interesting highlights from last year’s data:

1. On an average day, 83 percent of women and 65 percent of men spent some time doing household activities such as housework, cooking, lawn care, or financial and other household management.

2. On the days they did household activities, women spent an average of 2.6 hours on such activities, while men spent 2.1 hours.

You de-tassle seed corn to create a hybrid. That way the plant doesn’t polenate itself.

We have separate bathrooms. Which is awesome in that I keep all my hunting magazines down there, and she can paint hers purple.

...”Wow: IRS scandal, Iraq, Russia, Obamacare imploding, illegals spilling over the border

And this is what Time is reporting on??????????????”...

My thoughts, exactly..Time magazine is full of fools. When the consequences of just the events you mentioned come into fullness, it will not matter what women think or how we live.
Staying alive will be the issue..Not who is doing the housework.

In the 2 points in the excerpt, that could very well be because the women simply care more, are more picky, etc. Men vacume the carpet and care that it is clean. Women vacum the carpet and care that it is clean AND that the vacum marks are uniform and pretty....

In other words, who cares? Oh, the liberal loons that like to bash men.

I live in the Midwest. So we get the heat and humidity in the summer, and bone breaking cold in the winter.

I suspect that means we are nuts.

A son asked his mother the following question:

‘Mom, why are wedding dresses white?’

The mother looks at her son and replies:

‘Son, this shows your friends and relatives that your bride is pure.’

The son thanks his Mom and goes off to double-check this with his father.

‘Dad why are wedding dresses white?’

The father looks at his son in surprise and says:

‘Son, all household appliances come in white.’

The husband is still in intensive care and the prognosis is not good!!!
