younger women often have to work, take care of the house, the household, the
kids, the social life and keep the family together. When ould she have time
to bird? A husband in this society can say i want an afternoon or day off,
dear and go play. The wife can't or wont as the buck for all the work and
chores and keeping things going stops at the women. Too much to do to add
recreation, esp one like birding that is often all day.
