&gt; We know they watch more television and do less childcare than working-class women, and are less likely than more affluent men to work long hours.<p>I love the implied slur against working class men not working &#x27;long hours&#x27; or doing their share of the childcare.<p>You can only write a sentence like that if you&#x27;ve never been physically tired from exertion after doing a days work. There simply isn&#x27;t any more energy to do anything. And putting in &#x27;more hours&#x27; is going to be counterproductive since you&#x27;re expected to perform another act at 6 am the next morning.<p>I know quite a few of these &#x27;working class men&#x27; and none of them seem to live all that long past the age of 65, their bodies a shell of what they were when they started working. And with the recent increase of the age at which the pension system kicks in it&#x27;s become more common that they don&#x27;t reach the pensionable age at all.<p>Not all work-hours are equally taxing.
