The INED did a national study about it.
Among the couples of people aged 20 to 80 years old, the women are at 80% the one who do the ironing. They are 70% to do the cooking, and 50% to do the vaccum-cleaning and the shopping (for food).
As it is said in the article, the women are still the ones who can do what most men are unable to do (because they don't try that hard  ), to work at their job, and to do the housework.
The INED also mention that when a baby is born, it creates even more unevenness.
You can listen to one of the person who participated to this study there (it aired on the radio) (it's in French) : http://www.france-info.com/france-so...391-9-12.html#
Now, one advice to all the men, the study also reported that the more you don't participate, the less your GF/Wife is happy in your couple. Think about it, and don't complain if you get dumped for being lazy 
So, most French men fail |
Sure, I'll remember that
One can see how men can be blamed for this if they ask their gf/wife to get a job in order to have more money, but you could say women are also partly to blame. Considering the values of modern society and the importance it places on work and making money, and how in the olden days such a task was placed on men because it was regarded as "difficult" compared to housework, a false belief at that, there are some women who want to prove they're capable of doing what men do, and want to crush the belief that women are weaker than men by doing what they do.
There was also an article on a newspaper around here as well that I caught a glimpse of about how women have also ended up becoming wage-slaves like men because of this determination to prove themselves to be equal with men. In addition to having a job, they also have to take care of the house and they end up having no time to themselves (while guys can go chill with their buds at a pub at night after work
), and on top of that they end up having little money for anything in the first place and have to work all the time to get what they really want.
