Women's Time Spent On Housework Tends To Increase By About 50% After Marriage/Cohabitation. Because apparently some men think we "like" it. Well, some women do, but I have the feeling that it has more to do with frustration about it being done "right": some men do a complete slacker job, sometimes because it's the best they can do, but other times because they hope it will exasperate their SOs and their SOs will take over the job. I assume women are capable of this, too, but I haven't personally seen it as much. Also, does it have something to do with stereotypical male standards of cleanliness vs stereotypical female standards? IE, most guys I know are satisfied with a much lower level of cleanliness than most women I know, as to what anyone involved would describe as "clean."

(I wonder what this study would look like with gay men? In that situation, what's the statistical tendency? Do partners tend to share the work evenly, or does one wind up doing the majority of it? What about w/r/t lesbian cohabitation?)

Now, if you will excuse me, I have laundry to do.
