Plenty of men get asked to do work that takes them away from their families, including at special events.

Controversial, but shouldn't be: men are on average better at standing up for themselves and saying "no".

I'm not sure whether men are truly better on average, or women are just on average more conditioned by our societies not to do so or even if, to do so in a manner that isn't effective.

Unlearning ~2 decades of upbringing, education, expectations, some of that from religion, etc when entering the workforce could be pretty hard and significantly affect any statistics around this.

Why does it matter where the statistic has come from? It doesn't make it any less true.
