Men are still slackers when it comes to housework

We like to think we live in a modern age of gender equality, but it seems that there are some things that still aren’t getting shared equally, such as housework. Studies of couples show that women on average tend to do 15 hours of housework a week compared to the 5 hours men do. I’m not too surprised actually, especially given that it is still common for the man to work and the woman to be the housewife. Even if that isn’t the case I’m not really sure if it’s the man’s fault. Perhaps we women are just a lot more fussy about things being neat and tidy whereas men just wouldn’t care.
