Dishwasher Duties
According to a report released by the ABS yesterday, it appears that I, along with the rest of the male population, are not pulling our weight when it comes to household duties.
Of particular interest is the last column which presents the ratio (female/male) of time spent performing certain tasks. It clearly indicates that the fairer sex is carrying out most of the home duties.

When you add up the time in paid and household work you'll see that males and females do about the same amount overall, on average. But household work is unpaid and is rally leisure nit work. So when it comes to working males outscore females by 1.94.
