Men don't do as much housework as women
I'm not saying this to be obnoxious, it's just that if you do a google search for "housework + research" it seems like all you get is about a million irate articles on how "the only consistent finding is that women still perform the bulk of household labor" (citing Baxter, 1997), although they are doing more than they did in the 1970s.
There is no antidepressent effect from doing housework. Who said there was? Although it is pretty depressing living in a messy house.
OK -- blah blah blah on the housework front. I'm just frustrated that so far I don't find any nitty gritties on how people are dividing work or what have you. I haven't dug very deep yet, though.
And for men who are feeling hurt by all the man-bashing housework articles, try www.nomarriage.com, which includes articles such as: "Western bitches are panicking that men no longer want to support their fat nagging asses." I wonder if he runs a dating service?
