The article reports two studies showing that the link between unequal household chores and women’s sexual desire varies with individual beliefs about gender roles. Benevolent sexism moderates this relationship, with higher desire when egalitarian beliefs align with equal division, but lower desire when more chores are done by women, especially among those seeking equity.
