It’s time for my bi-weekly amazing chart from the Economist.  This week centers on how much more leisure time men have than woman in various countries (how amazing is the picture they chose?). 
Italy crushes the competition - men there have well over an hour more of leisure time compared to women.  Since most things I know about Italian people derive from stereotypes, I imagine it is because the woman spend all their time making pasta while the men hang out at strip clubs and have affairs with their goomars.  Ok, everything I know about Italians is from the Sopranos, but still.
You may notice that the biggest discrepency comes in Catholic countries.  I had no idea Jesus was all about chillin with his boys.  I guess that while the dudes were chilling at the Last Supper, the women were in the kitchen, cooking up a storm.
I am not the least suprised to see a Scandinavian country be considered the most egalitarian.  Must be nice, living in a utopia.
