Let's not forget the home front

As one of my friends likes to put it, "women fought for equality in the workplace, but we forgot to fight for it at home." She's not alone in thinking this and now has some statistical support. CBSnews.com reports on a recent study by the Labor Department that found that employed women averaged about an hour more on housework and nearly and an hour-and-a-half more on child-care activities per day than their employed male counterparts. This probably explains the other findings: that men have more leisure time; are able to work a little bit longer at the office; and are more likely to participate in sports.

How do the men manage this? Must be because they have wives .... Hmmmmmm. I gotta get me one of those someday.
