As to when men always got custody in divorce, consider "Lagging Behind the Times: Parenthood, Custody, and Gender Bias in the Family Court" by Cynthia A. McNeely published in 1998 in Volume 25 of the Florida State University Law Review, page 891 (ir.law.fsu.edu/lr/vol25/iss4/…).

@RealAshleyLuna @BrassVon @Oneiorosgrip @flipperspank @AmazonEve @SwipeWright @ninaturner If you add up both the unpaid labor and paid labor, on average, men work more total time than women creating a #GenderedLaborGap pursuant to (as an example) the @BLS_gov's 2017 American Time Use Survey (bls.gov/news.release/a…) and @pewresearch's data (pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018…).

There was a time when no one was awarded child support. The historical basis of child support is in the idea that middle class and rich women were incapable of working enough to support themselves. #GenderedLaborGap.

Men had to support the children of whom the men had custody.

Why can’t modern women handle the same degree of responsibility as men of old?

@snoopingass @OrwellNGoode That has nothing to do with hours worked once hired or hours worked at home, but rather whether one would get a job in Madrid or Barcelona and only 18 occupations were tested. The results are not demonstrably representative of Spain, let alone America (upf.edu/en/recercaupf/…). Image
@snoopingass @OrwellNGoode Moreover, MOVEMEON (@movemeon) considered 4 times as many job applications (over 5,600 versus over 20,000) and got the opposite result (linkedin.com/pulse/why-wome…) suggesting that your study (upf.edu/en/recercaupf/…) isn't representative of even Europe where both studies took place. Image
@snoopingass @OrwellNGoode @movemeon Since you, @snoopingass, demonstrably do not know what the #GenderedLaborGap is, you do not understand why your assertions regarding "discrimination" would not cause such a #GenderedLaborGap. So let's go over what the #GenderedLaborGap is so you can present relevant information. Image

@callistoknows @AmazonEve @Oneiorosgrip @CSeamus5 @MyFlowe43475846 @robinhoodand @againstgrmrs @Ray_gunnz08 The #GenderedLaborGap and resulting #GenderPayGap say otherwise. Child support exists because women — unlike men — were viewed by society (including by women) to be incompetent in handling their finances and incapable of working enough to care for children by themselves.

@espeyraunza @Oneiorosgrip @magpie_2021 @CaeValentine @ALeaftOnTheWind @BLS_gov @pewresearch Your source uses the same dataset but a different year. The time amounts are not significantly different. The data underlying your news source supports my conclusions. Try again! 🤣
@espeyraunza @Oneiorosgrip @magpie_2021 @CaeValentine @ALeaftOnTheWind @BLS_gov @pewresearch The first Table 8 of the @BLS_gov’s 2012 American Time Use Survey (bls.gov/news.release/a…) demonstrates that the #GenderedLaborGap was the same problem I articulated in my thread. It is not just something that existed as a freak accident of statistics in 2017 or 2019.

It appears that you are unfamiliar with the #GenderedLaborGap and need to be educated. Allow me to introduce you to some of the data.

@Hils50347032 @BLS_gov @pewresearch According to the @BLS_gov, "[o]n the days they worked, employed men worked 49 minutes more than employed women. … However, even among full-time workers (those usually working 35 hours or more per week), men worked more per day than women—8.4 hours, compared with 7.9 hours."

@StevenTrustrum @FASDisDV @notlloomer80 @Oneiorosgrip The problem is that (on average) women get educated in less technical fields than men (which is why when the majority of graduates at every degree level are women, the majority of engineering majors are men) and (on average) women work less than men.

These differences aggregate.
@StevenTrustrum @FASDisDV @notlloomer80 @Oneiorosgrip Women get the majority of higher education degrees and this is true at every degree level, but men dominate in the majors of business, engineering, mathematics, computer science, and physical and earth sciences (aei.org/carpe-diem/cha…; aei.org/carpe-diem/wom…).
@StevenTrustrum @FASDisDV @notlloomer80 @Oneiorosgrip "[Women] have been a majority of college-educated adults for more than a decade. Women first received more than half of the bachelor's degrees awarded in the 1981-82 academic year; today they earn about 57% of bachelor's degrees"(pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019…; pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021…).

@Tekla_Too @honnasiri @SeptimusSulla @sesmiel @anon95123 @SSingh_06 @gypsy_nilima @PoonamSharma__ @PhilMitchell83 @Oneiorosgrip There was a time in which only men were awarded custody of children if a married couple ever split. During that period, men had to be the breadwinner and the homemaker, but modern women do not seem capable of working as much as men of olden times.

Why is that?

@Sneshka_Richter @Tekla_Too @wjm73675578 @PhilMitchell83 @SeagerMJ @LavAgarwal95 @bytecrack @UN_Women Well, this is why I asked whether or not you would predict that women work as much as or more than men when adding up domestic labor and paid labor and, in particular, whether or not women who don’t have child care responsibilities work as many hours at paid work as men.
@Sneshka_Richter @Tekla_Too @wjm73675578 @PhilMitchell83 @SeagerMJ @LavAgarwal95 @bytecrack @UN_Women The so-called "wage gap" is women's median earnings divided by men's median earnings.

While "salaries" are usually indifferent to the amount of time one works, "wages" are not.

So if there is a #GenderedLaborGap, it would impact the so-called "wage gap."
@Sneshka_Richter @Tekla_Too @wjm73675578 @PhilMitchell83 @SeagerMJ @LavAgarwal95 @bytecrack @UN_Women However, the problem is deeper than that. If women with kids are working at paid work fewer hours due to the unpredictability of childcare responsibilities as you suggest @Sneshka_Richter, we should expect that problem to not exist for women who don't have kids, but that's false.
