Okay, you're going to love this piece of research about men doing all the housework which has been written up in the Daily Mail. Where else?
Never one to mince its words, the Mail says that women who complain that husbands shy away from the washing up and never put the bins out should think again.
Wives who moan they have to juggle a 'double-shift' with duties at work and then at home have in fact got it wrong, according to a study by the London School of Economics.
The "experts" (whoever they were), who took into account paid and unpaid work, as well as voluntary work and care, found that men make much more of a contribution than they are given credit for.
While women tend to cut down on office time or leave work after having children, many men compensate for the lost earnings by working extra hours and overtime, the study found.
Researchers said both men and women work an average of eight hours a day in paid jobs or unpaid duties.
Dr Catherine Hakim, a sociologist at the LSE, said: 'This data overturns the well-entrenched theory that women work disproportional long hours in jobs and at home in juggling family and work.
'Feminists constantly complain that men are not doing their fair share of domestic work. The reality is that most men already do more than their fair share.'
However, couples who have no children, and in which both partners have full-time jobs, are the only group for which women's overall workload was greater than men's, the research found.
I didn't know you had to be a feminist to complain about men not doing their fair share. That must mean there are millions of us out there. Thanks, Catherine. But I guess we can't count you among our number and looking at some of your previous work, that's maybe not surprising.
This is the woman who wrote in Prospect magazine at the end of last year that although stronger materity rights can help mothers, they hurt employers and women in general. Oh, yes and she argued in a later edition that having "erotic capital" can be just as valuable as a university degree, especially for women.
So is it possible that Ms Hakim has an agenda of her own here to promote? Perish the thought.
