Women Want Shorter Work Days [Edit]

A study from the analysis of labor statistics recently revealed that two times as many women compared to men want to cut back on hours in the office and would sacrifice their pay to do so.  One explanation for this might be because women tend to take on a disproportionately higher amount of household responsibilities.  Another reason might be that women feel that they need to be spending more time with their children.

The results, detailed in the April issue of the U.S. Department of Labor's Monthly Labor Review, have implications for understanding why women’s participation in the labor force, which had climbed in the early 1990s, has leveled off over the past five to 10 years, said the study’s lead author Lonnie Goldman, a Penn State University economist. Goldman also suggested the overworked might somehow "lend" their hours to the unemployed. (livescience)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I bet feminists HATE these women. Sexist males always said women couldn't handle the work week, and they're proving them right.
