Men Waste Their Time To Feel Proud


The article seems to have two issues. 

  • The author has taken an example of a loose late working man and a very hard working double shift woman, neither of whom is typical.
  • A second issue which the author has perhaps not taken into is that late working in office (and the attendant better rewards) do not and need not take into account the woman's double shift (granted that most men don't do much at home) but this is irrelevant while judging a person's performance at work. If your maid doesn't do a good job at home, would you accept it if she said she has an alcoholic husband who doesn't give her money and that she has 4 kids? True, she has a very difficult life much more difficult than most working women have but does it matter? Wouldn't you rather have a maid who is more reliable? Does it matter if the maid works more than you do? 

I am, of course, assuming that most men don't waste time discussing Sachin or other useless things while staying late at work. The same way I am assuming most working women don't have cooks and don't send their kids to tuitions and attend parties. That there is some double shift involved for most (though not all women / housewife).

The life of a working woman is much more difficult than the life of a working man which is much more difficult than the life of a non-working woman (a stay at home woman).
