And now something totally different: Housework makes women live longer New study: doing housework adds 3 years to women’s lives 10/24/2016 Wintery Knight 1 Comment The UK Daily Mail reports on a study sure to confound feminists. Excerpt: It’s probably not the most popular piece of health advice ever dished out – but researchers say that doing the housework can add years to your life. They found that women who clean, hoover and do the laundry are likely to live almost three years longer. Hoovering is what British people call vacuuming. More: The team from University Medical Centre Rotterdam found that a 55-year-old woman who does little around the house is likely to live to see her 83rd birthday – but that those who keep on top of the housework should live on to the age of 86. The benefit for men is much less marked. Their efforts with the loo brush will only buy them an extra year. But men who do the gardening live 2.7 years longer, while working outside the home has little effect on women. Dr Klodian Dhana, who led the research team, said the differences ‘may partly be explained by the fact that men engaged in more gardening and women in domestic work’. The study of more than 7,000 men and women asked questions on lifestyle then followed them for decades. Prior to this, we also saw studies about how marriages where women do more housework than men have higher frequency of sex. Here’s the press release from Science Daily. Excerpt: Married men and women who divide household chores in traditional ways report having more sex than couples who share so-called men’s and women’s work, according to a new study co-authored by sociologists at the University of Washington. […]The new study, published in the February issue of the journal American Sociological Review, shows that sex isn’t a bargaining chip. Instead, sex is linked to what types of chores each spouse completes. Couples who follow traditional gender roles around the house — wives doing the cooking, cleaning and shopping; men doing yard work, paying bills and auto maintenance — reported greater sexual frequency. Prior to that study, there was this Norwegian study. Excerpt: Couples who share housework duties run a higher risk of divorce than couples where the woman does most of the chores, a Norwegian study sure to get tongues wagging has shown. The divorce rate among couples who shared housework equally was around 50 per cent higher than among those where the woman did most of the work. “The more a man does in the home, the higher the divorce rate,” Thomas Hansen, co-author of the study entitled Equality in the Home, said. ...... [ If that wasn't 'sexist' enough, some personal observations: If a man tries to do very much housework, women will usually dislike how he does it and gripe over it. Causes stress and unhappiness. I have personal experience with this and have been told not to bother. There can be only one homemaker in a house. Even if there's another woman in the house - especially a motherinlaw - their ideas about homemaking, dealing with kids, etc won't mesh and there will be stress and unhappiness. It's true but you probably should treat this as a truth you don't talk to women about. ]
