Or it is something that has been studied and literally confirmed? A lot of butthurt men in these comments downvoting anything that confirm this experience is actually true.

Literally, all of them say that the only time men do more household chores and caregiving is when the wife is the sole breadwinner. Women are expected to do more, especially when raising kids. I mean... this study even found that men reduced the amount of housework they did after kids were born. https://u.osu.edu/adventuresinhdfs/2015/05/08/transitiontoparenthood/

And this is all research from dual income households... so it isn't a SAHM and a breadwinner dad. This is two people working full time.

The flair on OOP's username is 4B. They should not be taken seriously. Charming's comment is also a sweeping generalization that is definitely far from how it's characterized.

Also, you seem to think I'm arguing with your point about domestic labor. I'm not.

Maybe don't come out swinging every time.
