Not to mention, they have a variable time frame.
If you don't do the dishes you might have to quickly scrub off a plate before dinner. Annoying but brief and simple. If you don't dust or vacuum the house is slightly dirty another day. All of the stress and time crunch of it is internally born.
Whereas the men's chores often come down to "if you don't go outside right now, we won't have a car to go to work tomorrow."
While there are obvious exceptions like a spill that needs cleaning or most stuff directly involving children, all that women's work is closer to "busy" work they created their own mythology over (I lived alone for 7 years once and never dusted to no ill issues, despite being told I needed to do it weekly by multiple women) rather than some great task.
It always needs to be done, and doing it regularly and on schedule keeps it very simple and low stress, but nobody is going to suffer much ill effect if you just don't for a bit.
My mother constantly complained to me of my room being too dusty after not vacuuming it for months, yet the trucks I have to load have so much dust that there is a clear line after four hours on my arms where my gloves end and where the dust begins that looks like the worst sunburn you've ever seen. God forbid I don't clean the toilet within like three days. It's not like people literally shit in it.
Meanwhile this is a woman who took like 9 months to get a swing built on the porch for my father by some contractor.
