Ferri & Smith: Modern Women Acquired A Dual Burden
  1. Though changes in position of women have resulted in more women working, there is little evidence of "new man" who does equal share of domestic work. Instead women now have a dual burden.
    1. Eg. After work, women will return home to cook and wash and iron clothes, etc.
      1. The dual burden counteracts arguments of the symmetrical family. Men now simply benefit economically from women's earnings from employment as well as domestic labour.
