"Findings from our study, based on data collected in 2006-07, show that despite women's considerable gains in science in recent decades, female scientists do nearly twice as much housework as their male counterparts. Partnered women scientists at places like Stanford University do 54 percent of the cooking, cleaning, and laundry in their households; partnered men scientists do just 28 percent. This translates to more than ten hours a week for women- in addition to the nearly sixty hours a week they are already working as scientists-and to just five hours for men."
