@PadmaLakshmi@NewYorker@BLS_gov@pewresearch American Time Use Survey (with 2017 as an example) shows that women on average are not spending enough more time with their kids, doing chores, or anything else to justify women's lack of time working.
On average, men just work more in America (considering both paid and unpaid).
Women care for and help household members 2.08 more hours per day than men in the most extreme case presented by Table 8A, but men work 6.43 hours more per day than women.
@PadmaLakshmi@NewYorker@BLS_gov@pewresearch Similarly, comparing the men from Table 8B to the women from Table 8C (where the youngest child is under 6), women do household activities for 1.91 more hours per day than men in the most extreme case presented by Table 8A, but, again, men work 6.43 hours more per day than women.
@PadmaLakshmi@NewYorker@BLS_gov@pewresearch Let's do the math: Men: Women:
Household activities: 1.26 3.17
Caring for household: 1.42 3.36
Work-related activities: 6.57 0.00
==========
Total: 9.25 6.53
Who is doing more?
@PadmaLakshmi@NewYorker@BLS_gov@pewresearch By comparing the men from Table 8B to the women from Table 8C (using the youngest child under 6 column), we see the situation where women are unemployed and spending the most time caring not only for the children but the whole family.
@PadmaLakshmi@NewYorker@BLS_gov@pewresearch Maybe women are forced to stay home with their kids and that causes the gap. If true, women with no kids should be working the same amount as men in the workforce as there is no reason not to since there is no reason to be on call and no extra household or child care duties.
@PadmaLakshmi@NewYorker@BLS_gov@pewresearch Whether you consider all currently childless folks (Table 8A) or just the ones working (Table 8B), women spend less time on paid labor and related activities and women spend less time working considering both unpaid domestic labor and paid labor added together. The pattern holds.
@PadmaLakshmi@NewYorker@BLS_gov@pewresearch In light of the data (outlined hereinabove), it would seem that he would be taking on more responsibility than she would (on average), @PadmaLakshmi, which makes this comic hilariously false when dealing with the general or typical case (
The Boy Scouts of America (@boyscouts) “today announced that it will rebrand to Scouting America, reflecting the organization’s ongoing commitment to welcome every youth and family in America to experience the benefits of Scouting” (), which makes sense.
While this is not the invasion of male spaces some make it out to be, this is (in an amusing way) feminists indirectly delivering a massive gut punch, if not coup-de-grâce, to the Girl Scouts of the United States America organization (@girlscouts).
Both Cub Scouts and Scouts are sex segregated.
“Family packs have both boy and girl dens that meet separately” (, p. 8).

The answer to both is women. Nothing gets passed in America🇺🇸 without women’s consent (either to the law or policy itself or the politician — including appointed judges — who make the law or policy).
Polls indicate that women tend to be left-leaning, but those polls include a large number of people who don’t vote. Men and women who don’t vote don’t matter. This is why polls have a hard time predicting elections of late.

This is why abortion is okay.
Ergo, for men: consent to sex ≠ consent to finance mother’s unilateral choice to be a parent.
Why should anyone finance a mother’s unilateral choices?

If the Donohue-Levitt hypothesis is correct, this will lower crime.
