They do. They work 7% more than single men, but how does that impact their marriages? In this episode, Laura and Crystal discuss how capitalism screws, well, all of us. All genders, in every sphere.
Topics We Cover:
- Married men working more, and why the answer is almost always their wives
- Overwork as a tool of oppression—not ambition
- The second shift, the leisure entitlement gap, and who really gets to rest
- What Denmark is doing better (spoiler: it’s everything)
- The disillusionment of “equal partnerships” in a broken system
- The lie of corporate loyalty and the emotional fallout of trying to do it all
Referenced Research & Sources:
- Richmond Federal Reserve study on married men’s work hours
- Gender Equity Institute article on overwork and gender gaps
- OECD stats on Danish work-life balance
- We Grow the World Together
- Discussions of When We Care, Soul, and Rage Against the Machine (yes, really)
