Nothing could summarize this article any better than the title does: "Working long hours harms women but protects men, study shows."
"Work weeks [for women] that averaged 60 hours per week or more over three decades were found to triple the risk of diabetes, cancer, heart trouble and arthritis, according to new research from The Ohio State University."
Wait, that's a whole lot of hours. Wouldn't that level of work harm everyone? No! "[T]he same pattern was not seen in men. In fact, they got healthier the longer they worked."
This raises so many questions. Here's one: should young women be made aware of the risk to their long-term health when they consider an intensely demanding career?
