Women still tap all the domestic work, this is normal, this is the basis of patriarchy.
Comes to lament lament that working men and women to tap all the work in the factories.
---- A chapter of the 2012 edition of Perspectives on gender INSEE concerns the division
of household tasks between men and women. It analyzes the changing times through the
survey figures of 1986, 1999 and 2010. ---- Time spent on housework and errands happened
to women 4:10 to 3:01 and the men of 1 hour 10 to 1 hour 17. To care for children, women's
participation increased from 42 minutes 45 minutes while the men ridiculously doubled from
10 minutes to 19 minutes. Women do the domestic work of the whole family, they are doing
their part and on the part of job men (they do when they are single).
Which lowers the participation of women, this is not a more egalitarian distribution but
the development of the use of substitutes for merchants female tasks (dishes ...) and a
household with greater activity rates increasing women (micro-ondes. ..).
Changes ... but not equal
For more affluent women, it is also the use of a maid (but in these cases, the man is
nothing, the semblance of equality is ensured by the use of domesticity). The
configuration is different depending on the composition of households. There are more
children, the distribution is more unequal. More women work, the less it is.
A survey for a shoe brand in early 2014 peak that nearly half of women are normal to do
more but 68% believe do more.
The consequence of this unequal distribution is that women have less time for anything but
domestic life. They work fewer hours, they have less free time. There has also an impact
on the associative and political investment on recreation and creation.
The figures show that at the current rate of convergence times devoted to household
activities, equality will be achieved ... in a long time, or more likely never. Ever
because unequal division of labor is the basis of patriarchy. The group of men is enhanced
domestic work of women (since they do not have to do or to pay) and will not voluntarily
change this fact.
It is for women (like all operated es) to terminate their operation by ceasing to do
household chores men. Easier said than done.
The fight between the couple is exhausting and source of conflict. Lower wages reduce the
margin trading. The part-time due to the unequal distribution maintain it. It is easier to
do than fight constantly.
It remains to give a collective dimension, a dimension of class to this necessary fight.
