BBC News: Long hours unhealthier for women
BBC NEWS | Health | Long hours unhealthier for women: "Professor Cary Cooper, professor of organisational psychology and health at Lancaster University, said men were less likely to be affected by working long hours because they were not expected to multi-task in the same way as women."
A short, yet interesting, article about the effects of long working hours. They say that women who work longer eat more during the day (high-fat, high-sugar junk), drink more caffine, exercise less, and smoke more. Men on the other hand, experience no such changes in their lives, and it seems to be that they like the idea of a long day, yet women have domestic chores after any day, whereas men do not.
Is this what society and our lives have come to? People need to work longer and harder hours to get by in today's society to compete with others who can do the same. Are some traits of genetics just against females?

I don't know if it has to do with genetics. I was watching a segment on 20/20 a few months ago about "lazy husbands". Anyway, a lot of women now have fulltime jobs and careers like their husbands but when they come home they have to also do the household chores unlike their husbands who get to rest and sleep.
