Do you think women work harder than men? Can you give me some facts about it?

Question

How does women play as a mom at home? Not all of moms are nice and neat. But some does. Give me some facts about your beliefs on women in domestic sphere.

Answer 1

I'd rather work at home than outside in the rain moving heavy objects.

Like I said before women who complain about housework and childcare are just whiners.

Answer 2

Consider a steel worker and an office worker.

I'm sure you can imagine a male office worker far easier than a female steel worker - don't lie now.

Ok so the male steel worker puts in 8 hours of heavy, hard, dangerous labor. The female office worker deals with shuffling papers.

You could say the office worker deals with more stress, but do they really? Are you in danger of physical harm in a office on a level comparable to the danger of physical harm in an industrial foundry? Doesn't physical danger cause stress? The statistics on labor point out that work related injury and death is something men experience FAR more than women do. Perhaps that fact has something to do with the fact that men have shorter lifespans - perhaps the average job is more likely to kill thus skewing statistics on death rates on the job and average life span when viewed individually?

You can argue either way, but at the end of the day, things tend to work themselves out. If you did physical labor for 8 straight hours, its reasonable to be tired. If you shuffled paper for 8 straight hours, its reasonable to expect more energy to be left over.

These are metaphors to remind one not to forget to factor in what kinds of work are done on the job before 'work' is measured purely by the hour - both kinds of stress add up - the physical stress that can kill over time and the mental stress of the day being longer can kill over time.

You might say that it proves that women are superior because even so, men die earlier. However, isn't it possible that coming home after a hard days physical labor to deal with mental stress from your spouse would mean the person doing physical labor may have been under a greater deal of overall stress the entire time? Come on, is the idea just ignored as being wrong right off the bat? How rational is it to not consider the possibility?

I agree that the average women does more at home than the average man. However, the average man assumes more daily risk than the average women. Wouldn't men doing more at home without women accepting more risk in the workplace be unfair?

Just some thoughts to consider - the more thoughts considered, the better the likely conclusion in my opinion so I'd rather not look just at hours average hours worked numbers and claim a disparity.

At the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is each individual relationship - if the guy does more intense work, ok maybe the girl should work more hours? Who cares - its up to that couple and if either one feels slighted maybe its not the right relationship? Hopefully these things are figured out before kids are involved.

Answer 3

Everything seems to be relative. A man could never "labor", like a woman does in terms of "Motherhood". And likewise,both are judged by how they are created in terms of work performed, and both can be lazy and shiftless.I have been in women's home that are spotless, and I have been in women's home that were a shame, same with men.now-a-days, they are soo many elements calling the women to be outside of their home,often times at the expense of the children, but that's the times that we live in.

Answer 4

I can only speak for myself, my sister and my mother. We have all worked outside the home and taken care of the home as well. I think it depends alot on where you come from, your background and your surroundings. Personally I do everything. I work a full time job and I still come home, cook, clean, laundry, I do it all. Not because I have too, because I feel its my duty. I can do things better than my husband. He takes out the trash and takes care of the yard. But 99% of the housework I do myself.

Answer 5

Theres a book called "The Second Shift" which details tasks typically done by women and tasks typically done by men ...basically goes over how...we all, both women and men, put in an 8 - 10 hour long day at work for pay jobs...and its women, not men who tend to put in many more additional hours at our 'work at home' jobs.

Answer 6

ever see a male give birth, No and the reason is they are not strong enough. Also women do not PLAY at being mom at home. They inherited it by being the mother, giving birth raising and operating a home, not the least bit similar to the rock you obviously live under

Answer 7

THATS BEIN BIASED...CANT SAY YES, CANT SAY NO. DEPENDS ON WERE U LIVE 2. IN AFRICA, THE WOMEN DO ALOT!!! N THE MEN DON REELIE DO MUCH, BUT IN CERTAIN PARTS OF AFRICA, THIS IS NOT THE CASE. SAME IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD. THE ANSWER DIFFERS WHEREVER U GO DUE TO CULTURAL PREFERENCeS.

Answer 8

a woman works 2 jobs: the paying one, outside the home and then they work in the home cooking, cleaning, laundry, baths intill they fall in bed exhausted at 11 -12 o'clock

Answer 9

Women spend hours/day discerning men to do their work for them.

Answer 10
