>Who do you think built the houses?

The men. Again, I'm writing there about what women didn't have to do.

>In most places and times, didn't all men just get conscripted into war frequently?

Yes, and thus what I wrote is that women didn't have to do it.

(My point was: "yes, women did the house tasks, but on the plus side, they didn't have to do those other far more dangerous and hard things").

>Why do you think it didn't consume all waking hours?

I don't think it didn't, I know it didn't. For starters it was shared among larger family units (including several kids). And even when it wasn't, like some people living on their own, it hardly took a few hours each day, and that's including maintaining a fire, cooking, some cleaning, feeding some nearby hens, bringing water, and things like that. Modern people over-dependent on modern conveniences overestimate how hard all those things were, as if it was some horror survival movie.

In these here parts, people in the country did all the same things people did in the 19th century or the 15th century well into the 20th century (with cars and electricity not reaching many places until the late 1950s), all with plenty of time to spare and socialize.
