In this episode of You Rock, a Together Digital podcast we talk to clinical psychologist and author of All the Rage, Mothers, Fathers, and the Myth of Equal Partnership, Darcy Lockman. 

• Dr. Lockman’s book asks the question in the era of feminist activism and enlightenment...
• Why do men still do so little at home, and why do women do so much? 

Stay with us as we explore what it really means to have an equal partnership AFTER kids and how to empower both sexes in the home. 

Follow Darcy @darcylockman. Find more about her book and others at www.darcylockman.com.

Here’s what we do know. 

Women are still doing 3x the amount of housework as men. 

•   A 2015 study found that working heterosexual couples performed 15 hours each of housework per week before having kids. After children, women did the same amount of housework while men did five hours less, and women took on eight more hours of childcare than men.. 
• On average, most men would not be able to put in longer hours in paid work if there were not a woman taking on the majority of the duties at home—in essence working a second shift without pay.
• Division of labor in the home is one of the most important equity issues of our time. Equity in the workplace will not be possible until there is also equity within the home. 

Darcy's story begins when she and her husband became parents more than a decade ago, she says,  "I was not prepared for the ways in which sexism was about to express itself in our relationship”...
