What about in 21st century?

Prediction 1: If you have a partner who does substantially more than 50% of your combined family, household, and community tasks, then you are MORE likely to do great things in science, business, etc. And that if male this, in turn, is MORE likely to be the case if you have kids

Historical great people often had a partner who took on the bulk of the housework. Most modern ambitious men I know prefer to marry ambitious women who don't want to take primary responsibility for kids, and the couple doesn't want to pay for childcare.
