A 2009 survey found that only 9 percent of people in dual-earner marriages said that they shared housework, child care, and breadwinning evenly.
2009年的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，雙薪家庭里只有9%的夫妻表示會(huì)共同分擔(dān)家務(wù)勞動(dòng)，一同承擔(dān)照看孩子、養(yǎng)家糊口的責(zé)任。
So while men are taking on more household responsibilities, this increase is happening very slowly, and we are still far from parity.
所以，盡管男性也在慢慢承擔(dān)起更多的家務(wù)勞動(dòng)，但這種變化非常緩慢，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)達(dá)不到平等分擔(dān)的狀態(tài)
(Perhaps unsurprisingly, same-sex couples divide household tasks much more evenly.)
（這并不奇怪，同性夫婦在分擔(dān)家務(wù)時(shí)要平等很多）。
Public policy reinforces this gender bias.
相關(guān)的國(guó)家政策更強(qiáng)化了這種性別差異。
The U.S. Census Bureau considers mothers the "designated parent," even when both parents are present in the home.
即使父母都在家里，美國(guó)人口統(tǒng)計(jì)局也將母親默認(rèn)為“指定家長(zhǎng)”。
When mothers care for their children, it's "parenting," but when fathers care for their children, the government deems it a "child care arrangement."
母親照顧孩子是“養(yǎng)育”，但如果是父親照顧孩子，政府則把這視為“育兒安排”。中國(guó)的國(guó)家政策同樣強(qiáng)化了“女性是孩子的主要照看者”的觀念。
I have even heard a few men say that they are heading home to "babysit" for their children.
我甚至聽到過一些男人說正準(zhǔn)備回家“看看孩子”，
I have never heard a woman refer to taking care of her own children as "babysitting."
但從來沒聽過一個(gè)女人把照顧自己的孩子說成“看看孩子”。
A friend of mine ran a team-building exercise during a company retreat where people were asked to fill in their hobbies.
我的一個(gè)朋友在公司野外拓展活動(dòng)中負(fù)責(zé)團(tuán)隊(duì)建設(shè)。當(dāng)填寫自己的業(yè)余愛好時(shí)，
Half of the men in the group listed "their children" as hobbies.
團(tuán)隊(duì)里有一半的男人把“照看孩子”列進(jìn)了這一欄。
A hobby? For most mothers, kids are not a hobby. Showering is a hobby.
業(yè)余愛好？對(duì)大多數(shù)母親來說，帶孩子可不是愛好，淋浴才是。
My friends Katie and Scott Mitic flip this pattern.
我的朋友凱蒂和斯科特夫婦顛覆了這個(gè)模式。
Katie and Scott are both Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who work full-time.
他們倆都是硅谷的企業(yè)家，有全職工作。
About a year ago, Scott traveled to the East Coast for work.
一年前，斯科特去了東海岸工作。
He was starting a late-morning meeting when his phone rang.
有一天上午，會(huì)議剛開始時(shí)，他的電話響了。
His team only heard one side of the conversation.
他的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員聽到他在電話這頭說：
