What does Reddit have to do with it?

Thanks for the reply, I'm still not sure if I would equate overproportional volunteering for a lesser profitable task equates to work "chores".

I would understand if author etc deduced that I meant men where more hesitant to do lesser tasks when woman are around. But I think that speaks more to the power balance issue that specifically work chores.

To me, the article shoe horns a scientific study to match a list of tips that are pretty unrelated. There's space for both discussions but seems to be a strange choice of evidence for the latter.

Interesting tips and definitely something I've experienced myself in the workplace. But I'm struggling to understand how the experiment relates to workplace housework.

The report says "Participants were told they’d each be paid $1 for their participation, with one catch. If one of the three participants clicked a button on the computer screen, that person would receive $1.25, and the other two would receive $2. Women were 48% more likely than men to volunteer to press the button. In other words, women took a hit so that everyone came out better."

If the person gets an extra 25cents it's not a thankless job, just the least profitable. Also, unless I've missed something, how does this tie to office housework? Again, unless I've missed something

I know, I was actually a baconreader user (there were dozens of us lol) but hey! Welcome to the club lol
