How do heterosexual couples in the United States typically divide labor? How does this compare to divisions of labor among lesbian and gay couples?

What will be an ideal response?


Heterosexual couples typically divide labor according to traditional gendered patterns, with wives logging more hours in housework and childcare than husbands. This pattern holds even when women work full-time outside the home. In contrast, lesbian and gay couples tend to distribute labor in a more egalitarian fashion.
