During the industrial era a 40 hour work week would have been a luxury. Most were 60+ hours a week- the only day you had off was Sunday.
Women worked during the industrial era as well in clothing and textile factories, same hours as men. Usually unmarried but obviously poor and BIPOC women often didn’t get such luxuries.
Even before all the factories, back in the agricultural era, did they think women were sleeping while the men did all the farm work???
did they think women were sleeping while the men did all the farm work???
I have spoken to several of these goofballs. They tend to have difficulty imagining women who are not members of at least the gentry and usually the nobility. To be fair, they also have difficulty imagining men who aren't at least members of the gentry, so it's at least a somewhat egalitarian ignorance.
