It couldn't possibly be that women volunteer more, it must be because they are just loud and boastful about it.

According to him if you ASK then it would be men in higher numbers.

Okay, so the department of labor asked.

It is similar in America, But there is a difference in approaches.

Women when they do voluntary work, they post, they scream, they shout, they talk, they take pictures. it is easy to see.

Men just do voluntary work, the actual work in silence and without any real proof or visibility besides the lives changed.

Thanks to that many women erroneously assume it means women are more likely to do voluntary work, when it is men do it slightly more than women in hours done. But if you go by social media or just people following/talking about voluntary work? you would assume it was 90% women. And to be fair, 90% of them are in the social media depts, or in the supervisory roles, but the ones actually doing the voluntary work? a good mix, but slightly more men.

My father does voluntary work in a charity that cleans rivers and parks, but if you do not ask, you would never even know.Graph by depart of labor showing women volunteer significantly more.

  1. "Nu-uh, the men do more work because that is what is true in my little head canon. Women talk more then men and post about it online unlike me who is stoic and never complains about how annoying it is to hear about all these females doing volunteer work that they just do for the likes and also...."

  2. Spoken like a guy who doesn’t, himself, volunteer. Because if he did, he’d probably see that women make up the majority. I’ve done a lot of different volunteer work before, and women definitely make up the majority of volunteers in my experience.

  3. I volunteer at a soup kitchen, and there are always more women than men any given day. Also, during the school year, I organize volunteer events and more girls than boys participate.

  4. Just off the top of my head, local animal shelter has about 70% women volunteers. And yes, we walk the big dogs- one on each side, if necessary.

  5. And if you included data for the over 54s, you'd get even more women: any number of community groups and events would fall over without the huge number of unpaid older women propping them up. Let's start with the church groups....

  6. Another entry from "Trust me, bro, I totes reseached this" university.

    I got one for him. Men are statistically more likely to act like taking care of their kids is something to brag about and receive praise for.

  7. So I see where he says his father volunteers. But I'm not seeing. anything. about. him???

    Why are men always so angry about society (women) saying they don't contribute and then loudly declare that they don't contribute 🤔

  8. so the ONLY time men are outpacing women is in the age bracket most likely to be facing various minor criminal charges that can be adjudicated with community service, which is ALSO the age bracket most likely to have too-young-to-leave-them-home-alone-for-3-hours-on-Saturday children

    interesting

  9. Reminds me of that annoying claim that if men want to show you an item they'll photograph and post the item, while women will take a selfie with it. Interesting how it always fits your headcanon that women are vain and selfish! If being silent is how you prove you're better, why not shut up?

  10. And the greater percentage of men in the 35-44 age group wouldn't have anything to do with women in that range being too busy raising kids, right? (Bet a large percentage of volunteer work by men in that age range is also sportsball coaching.)

  11. Been volunteering at the same animal shelter for almost ten year. Most of us (and staff) are women. Volunteers are usually older women looking for something to do now that kids have left home. A few husband and wife teams, including my weekly group, and some solo guys

  12. There's a picture of me on the recruitment page of the organization I volunteer with, but like... I didn't put it there. It's not even a good picture of me. It wasn't MY choice!

  13. There’s nothing wrong with being proud of volunteering. Everyone who volunteers should be shouting about it. That’s how you recruit more volunteers.

  14. Hands up all the women who, when away from home, often either for paid work or invisible care work for family, get texts from husbands saying "I did X, Y and/or Z" with an unspoken "for YOU/like you asked" & obviously expecting praise? Sure, men "volunteer" quietly.

  15. There's a slight decrease during woman's prime child bearing years, but otherwise its pretty consistent.

    Hope the survey takers didn't include men "babysitting" their kids or grandkids, or "cooking for the family" as volunteer work 😉

  16. Of course we volunteer. Literally every woman I’m friendly with volunteers for some civic or charitable purpose. Mind you, that’s what we middle class harridans do.

  17. In country Oz, men volunteer for sports clubs, fire and rescue services (RFS, SES) and service clubs (Rotary, RSL), women volunteer for children stuff (scouts etc.)then old people stuff (meals on wheels etc.)and fund raising for same. Most people volunteer for something at some stage in their lives.

  18. Bet the one group where it's more men is because of business "volunteering" and not individual initiative. Like United Way's Loaned Executives. I did that one year and it was great for schmoozing and making contacts. But it wasn't 'work' like helping the food bank, which I also did.

  19. Hmmm. Why is it that any volunteer group I've joined has had more women than men? Gee, must be some weird statistical anomaly. 🙄

  20. I’ve spent my life volunteering in some capacity or other and I can promise you the ratio of women to men is high. Men roll in and like to be in charge when they do show up. Gay men are better represented but still low relative to women.

    Men need recognition when they unload a dishwasher lol

  21. Okay okay but did they not ask men and women about volunteering in order to collect this data? Or are the just going off social media post? I would trust this chart way more that this dude who apparently just graduated from “Trust Me Bro University”
