No. According to a global survey / study of total work done in home and on the job which shows that, contrary to convential wisdom, women and men work the same amount per day. At least in "rich" countries - but not in Italy(!?)

Anyways, this summary in the Slate article made me laugh:

Although men in many rich countries do not work less than women, they do enjoy about 20 to 30 minutes more leisure per day (over an hour more in Italy) because they spend less time on sleep and other biological necessities. Men spend almost all of this additional leisure time watching television.

So true on all fronts...
