   There are a few theories mentioned as to why this is happening, but not this one: throwing dinner parties takes time, and women‘s participation in the workforce has grown steadily.

   There are less women with free time on their hands and the need to mingle with people they wouldn’t otherwise encounter, because they’re at home most of the time.

      Agreed - my social life has frequent gatherings only because my wife is, despite working and having kids, extremely motivated to meet up with friends. If she didn’t have that motivation we probably wouldn’t be seeing anyone, and if she weren’t working then that could compensate.

      I am surprised i had to scroll this far to see the whole thing was powered by women’s unpaid labor.

         I‘m sure they were aching under the pressure of organizing cocktail dinner parties that their evil husbands forced them to host.
