Most women almost never count the actual labor men do as labor. According to a terrible ex-girlfriend, these things I did weren’t “real work” because I “enjoyed them” (I did not):

• All car maintenance
• Limb and brush trimming
• Lawn mowing and general lawn/yard maintenance
• Putting together any furniture
• Working with any contractors or other hired help
• Any other minor physical maintenance tasks
• Any highway or other long-distance driving

By the way, in addition to all that, I still washed the dishes and vacuumed roughly 50% of the time and cooked dinner even more than that (she was a bad cook and I am a good one). According to her, though, I did not do enough around the house because I refused to vacuum more than three times a week.

I suspect this mismatch of actual labor and perception of male labor is very common due to all the propaganda women are fed in this arena. Male labor is also mismeasured in the stats pretty consistently.
