Siddity in the City

Economist via Jezebel:

Men in western countries have more free time than their lady counterparts, with Italians having the most (an extra 80 minutes per day) and Norwegian men having the least (an extra 4 minutes per day).

The US came in sixth, with American men having just under 40 minutes more leisure time than women. Hell, that’s at least three chapters of a novel.

So does this mean Norwegian men take equitable division of family labor more seriously?

Eh, who am I kidding? Anyone I married, no matter where they were from, would either need to be the domestic or we’d have to decide to hire one, because I am not and have never been terribly concerned about either the location of my socks or the sparkling sanitized presentation of my abode. Shit, my laundry isn’t whites/darks/brights/delicates. It’s hot/warm. That’s it. What needs to be disinfected with heat? (Underwear, linens, gym clothes.) Everything else = warm wash. I don’t even own an iron.

But Norwegians are tall. I could balance out my five-foot-nothing-and-a-halfness with my progeny with an elventy-five foot tall Norseman.

Meh.
