Women

"Almost all employed women in heterosexual relationships live in households where the division of labor is grossly and visibly inequitable... The imbalance exists among all groups of women who live with men, incuding professional women. Married women who work for pay average about thirty-three hours of housework per week -- about two-thirds of the total household work. Married men who are employed do fourteen to eighteen hours of housework a week." -- Women Don't Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide by Linda Babcock and Sara Lashever.
