by the time they're 10 years old, girls are doing more chores around the house than boys . . . girls in this latest study spent an average of 50 minutes more on chores each week than boys.
Supposedly, I was "better able" to do challenging tasks like dusting our ugly end tables. Well, I'll admit that, as the big sister, I thought I was the only one who really knew how to do anything right. Still, some things don't have to be done exactly right -- they just have to be done.
It goes on:
"We expected that as a generation or two of women have gone out into the labour force, the gender differences would have faded in their children, but that's not happening."
No, it takes more than a generation or two to get over the deep-rooted idea that the males have to save their energy for plowing the fields, chopping down trees, and doing anything that involves getting shot at.
