Are women harder workers than men are?

Question

My wife works a tremendous number of hours and then comes home and works on projects. That makes me tired just thinking of it. When I come home, I want to do as little as possible. Are women naturally harder workers than men?

Answer 1

Perhaps they have been socialised to work more, if there is no staff to work at home, which is usually the case. Most women do hold a normal job in addition to doing the job of taking care of a home and children (and a husband). It's nice of you to notice since many husbands do not.

Answer 2

No. If they were then companies could pay them more than they pay men.

Men still do 19 out of 20 dangerous jobs. Maybe your job just takes more out of you. It's illegal to work a woman that hard. I do the house work at home and I put in more hours than my wife, but of course I can- it's very easy work. And I've done 14 years of carpentry, mainly balancing 40feet above the ground, so I know the difference.

And define, 'tremendous'. That's a womanly term. How many hours does she work? And how do you know she's not just sititng in her office doing her nails. I still think your a woman with a bloke's avatar; you just dont talk like a man.

Answer 3

This is a definate no....it is not definaed by sexual gender.

It's unique to each person. My wife is also one of these people that must do projects every second of the day. She complains of always being bogged down with mental lists of things that she
has determined need to get done.

She is also the kind of person that takes 45 minutes to fall asleep because she is going over lists of her next days routine.

Some people are more obsessive over these types of things. My wife is literally incapable of sitting down on a rainy afternoon and just taking it easy...she instead walks around worried that she is wasting valuable time that could be spent accomplishing various tasks.

Answer 4

No way. As well as it is true that the housework is a hard duty, it is also enjoyable to the woman, provided she is a housewife. The modern life has changed some patterns in the natural way of life of the woman to the detriment of the whole society. But, taking again your question: When a woman has a hard duty, she will always find some man that will help her

Answer 5

Yes women work harder than men. if they are a house wife like myself they do all the washing ironing see to the kids make breakfast lunch and tea wash the kids tidy house and most of all make there husbands / boyfriends very happy

Answer 6

I could be diplomatic and say "It depends what work hard means". But you actually mean mental and physical strain from day to day activities. Mentally, women are better prepared for bad times since they can cry while men keep their matters to heart and suffer healthwise. Physically, it has been established more or less that men can endure more than women. I think in your wife's case, she wins both the categories :D

Answer 7

No. Just depends on the person. Some people are just naturally more motivated than others.

That or she has no choice but to push on through doing all that.

Answer 8

Well, some women are harder workers than men, and some are not......

Answer 9

yes because men usually leave women with the kids to be with some other woman and that leaves the woman to work and care for the kids so ......a great big YES.....we do it all dont we women

Answer 10

She's just a harder worker than you or has more energy than you. Try giving her sex more often man!
