Women work more overtime than men for half the credit. So yes, women do work harder their entire careers.

wow 4 minutes. add all the time that a mother and worker has throughout the day including cooking, cleaning, driving kids places, completing other tasks that men are too lazy to do and I'm pretty sure that your extra 4 minutes can even compare.

woman work harder because we have to work twise as hard to work as hard as a man and we make dinner wash the children and pic out clothes for our husband so he doesn't look like a clown in the day... so what do you say to that???

I have to disagree with the idea that women complain more, and as for whether or not I have to work harder as a woman writing about personal finance issues... I don't think so. Considering that Suze Orman is probably the most famous personal finance guru out there, it's hard to argue that the deck is stack against us.

"The most likely thing is that women complain more"

I don't think so. Men are the biggest babies:

Ms. Palmer, we were just wondering whether you have to work twice as hard to get the same amount of recognition as other personal finance writers and bloggers:
