However, I don’t think that spending time rather than money to make one’s food (necessarily) adds yet another thing to a woman’s day. Buying food rather than making it (generally) necessitates working at a day job that is separate from work at home, which adds another thing to her list of responsibilities. I would personally rather do more unpaid, highly satisfying work at home than paid, unsatisfying work outside of the home. (Of course, this is just personal preference: plenty of women certainly find their day jobs satisfying).

I still have a sense that this way of looking at allocating time is more feminine, though I take your point. To me, it still seems more intuitive, meaning-full and fruitful, rather than strategic, efficient and productive. But maybe I’m wrong.
