""Men's time doing housework is about the same as it was in the 1970s, and that's true whether or not the woman earns more money or the man earns more money.""
""The assumption based off classical economic theory was that as women earned more, the domestic scales would naturally balance out.""
Weaponized incompetence is a prevalent issue in domestic life, where men often appear helpless, leading to an unequal division of labor. Research by Corinne Low reveals that this is not merely a personality flaw but a structural constant. Despite women increasingly out-earning men, the division of household responsibilities remains skewed. Men's participation in housework has stagnated since the 1970s, contributing to the perception that progress in gender equality has stalled, particularly in domestic labor.
