Multitasking has traditionally been perceived as a woman's domain.

That's a weird article. Look beneath the surface and it's just saying women are neurotic and get frazzled and overwhelmed. Uhuh, welcome to earth.
When a couple has kids the women are more pressed for time. Yeah, no shit. And then they report poor mental health. Uhuh, reporting your own mental health as poor, sounds really serious...
Meanwhile, I've seen many examples of men taking over household duties (long term or temporarily) and in every case the dudes got all the shit done no problem and with time to spare and it caused issues in the relationship because the men then had some questions about what the fuck the wife was actually doing because the amount and difficulty of work was very out of proportion to the bitching and complaining.
In most cases the men were more than willing to stay home if their wife wanted to take on the full time breadwinner role. They not only declined the opportunity, but I'm guessing in situations where women are the full time worker they're also reporting higher rates of poor mental health.
And I don't blame women. I blame our society that managed to both discredit and undermine homemaking and push women into the shitty workforce, while also making women think they were heroes and/or victims for doing anything at all around the house. And, of course, that their mental health and the self reporting of it should always be front and center.
And of course academia is full of the worst sort of women who helped break society and now study and report how victimized women are by society.
This means the extra family work women perform is just that – extra work. And we need to see it as such.
Within the family, this work needs to be catalogued, discussed and then equally divided. More men today are invested in gender equality, equal sharing and co-parenting than ever before.
Sure, sure. And guess what. Last week when the kitchen ceiling was leaking, was it me or my girlfriend on the roof at 1am in a snowstorm clearing snow that was blowing and melting in through a roof vent?
Omg muh mental health!!! Do I get to report that as causing poor mental health? Nah, was too busy because the next morning I was up early shoveling the driveway.
Why doesn't it ever count as extra work that causes legitimate strain unless it's traditional women's work they're being told they should be fucked up mentally for having to do? Want equality? Get on the roof, bitch!

posted something so you know right away it's wrong, completely fucking retarded, and also somehow gay and ugly as shit
The stuffed animals on the floor, and the feminine design choices of that room pictured, might initiate some questions if they stayed the whole night - but I just wanted them to leave by that point anyways.
