US President Barack Obama, speaking for the first time about allegations that Secret Service agents hired prostitutes, said on Sunday that "of course I'll be angry" if those accusations are proven true by an investigation.
London(ANI): Women may have come a long way from being mere housewives to hotshot yuppies, but have men gone to being housekeepers rather than just breadwinners? Apparently not, as a new study proves that the theory of 'New Man' is a lie.
A University of Michigan study has shown that the number of hours wives spend on chores has fallen from 19.5 a week to 14.5, but that's because of technology - vacuum cleaners and dishwashers.
Husbands, on the other hand, do an average of seven hours a week of housework.
Some 26 per cent of wives now earn more than husbands - up from 15 per cent in 1980. Those earning 50 per cent more have doubled to nine per cent.
"There is something about the experience of being a wife, as opposed to a husband, that causes even high-earning wives to spend considerably more time on housework than their husbands," The Daily Mail quoted researchers Alexandra Killewald and Margaret Gough as saying.
