Irish women do 30% more housework than european peers despite wrking longer hrs outside the home.

Ah now,

I worked in a nightclub many moons ago and the women's toilets were always far, far worse than the mens.

People can just be scummy. It's not gender specific.

absolute bullshit

Maybe it's a house proud thingy. Also dont they rent more on the continent.

Home ownership would make you care about it more?

Why would you kill a spider?

I think it's up to each couple to figure this stuff out themselves. If a woman ends up doing more housework in a home I would think there are a multitude of possible reasons for this. Maybe the woman is too passive and catering to a lazy man's whims? Maybe the husband is just a complete lazy cretin and a bit of a bully so the wife is to afraid to tackle him on sharing housework? In any case I would say that it's up to each couple to settle on an arrangement which they are both content with. If one is unhappy with the arrangement they should stand up to the other and fight for a better arrangement.

Should men and women do their fair share around the house? Yes of course they should, easy question to answer. How can we solve the problem of lazy men not sharing household chores? I believe the onus should be on the couple as a whole to settle this and I think society is slowly getting better to improve the dynamic. The more sons that see their fathers helping out around the house, the more likely they will become a modern man who shares the household chores fairly.

In my home, my girlfriend does a lot of the tidying but would never pick up the hoover. So she tidies and I clean. She does most of the clothes washing, I do the gardening. I do most of the cooking (we both prefer my cooking) and she will tidy the kitchen afterwards. We're both mostly happy with the way things have settled in terms of our roles in the house. But of course from time to time there might be arguments about it and shifting workloads depending on other factors.

The link in the OP is actually very clear in its main point, which is that during the pandemic more Irish women stopped doing work than their european counterparts.

Conclusive proof that while the European women were getting on with their lives the Irish girls grabbed their free money and sat on their arse at home.

Interesting that in an article that repeatedly gave evidence that Ireland had greatly improved gender equality in every area, the OP still picked out a really tenuous point as the basis for a whinge.
