> society still sucks at gender equality when it comes to enabling parents to equally contribute

With very few exceptions, mammalian females are almost entirely responsible for child-rearing across the board. So all signs point that its also hormones too. We as a society need to start equalizing hormones. Women need to start taking testosterone and men need to take estrogen. We will only be equal once there is a single androgynous gender. This is the equality we are fighting for. This is the equality we deserve. #androgyny2016

Seriously though, there are some gender differences worth leaving to freedom of choice. Propensity to child-rear and hormone levels are among them, IMO.




I suppsoe there is a hormone for washing dishes and doing laundry also.


Laundry is the most overrated chore. Clothes in, detergent in, shut the lid, push the button. You can do it in 45 seconds.

Regardless, you don't know what other people's chore splits are like. It's not something you can observe.

Yes, you definitely can. Easiest solution is to ask them, but you could also do observational studies if you had the funds.

Here's one example where we asked: http://www.gallup.com/poll/106249/wives-still-laundry-men-ya...
