An article (£) in yesterday’s Sunday Times. The explanations for why women take twice as much time off work as men include stress, depression, anxiety, systemic neglect, neurobiological overload, social gaslighting, discrimination, sexism, ageism, the menopause (including ‘brain fog’, in the light of which, should menopausal women be barred from driving cars, flying planes etc.?)… It’s a miracle women ever turn up for work at all. An extract:
“Workers in governmental public administration and defence roles, in the education sector and in health and social work were the most stressed out.”
Women take more time off work despite working considerably fewer hours, and “unsocial hours” in particular. In the UK, approximately 36% of women in employment work part-time, while 14% of men work part-time. No mention is made of these facts in the article, nor that women have an inferior work ethic, as we know from Dr Catherine Hakim’s Preference Theory.
