You want me to do dishes so I can live longer to do dishes? Excuse me?!

i wonder why they didnt include men in the study

[Active-Ambassador960]

🤣 probably because we take our anger and murderous thoughts out on them chores. Except gardening, that’s meditation.

[aloofyfloof]

Yeah…any menial/repetitive task allows you to fall into a meditative state long enough to forget the fact that there are studies out there spewing patriarchal nonsense.

[ohhhwait_igetit]

I liked how they didn’t reference washing the car, mowing the lawn, cleaning the garage, or any other ‘masculine’ chores. “Hey ladies! Get to cleaning!”

[arcaneunicorn]

Ugh I say as someone with ADHD. Cleaning is my least favorite after a mentally exhausting work day. Doesn’t wine help with heart health? I’ll do that instead

[sunlight_sunshine123]

I hope that works for boys to, cause I’m gonna garden my way in to 120 years old.

And some people still think science is neutral, ha

I don’t wanna live to be too old, so I’ll be avoiding the dishes and keeping the gardening. Thank you.

[askmeabouttheforest]

What, ladies, aren’t we concerned about men’s heart health? We’ve been hogging the lifesaving magic of dishwashing for way too long! Now they can have it 😂

[wilde_wit]

My post-hysterectomy instructions used the term “light housework” as a descriptor for activity I could resume after a couple weeks. Oh gee, thanks! /s

[bliip666]

God, kill me now

[Princessnatasha12]

What in the name of patriarchal horseshit is this?

[Psychological_Gear29]

Weird way of saying “physical activity keeps you healthy” did they compare housework to other forms of exercise?

[tdn1234321]

I hate gardening and I think the stress of doing it would increase my chances.

[faemomofdragons]

My dad enjoys doing the dishes because it calms him. But… yeah, I’m going to need to see your study and your numbers.
