A tweet by Yale sociologist Nicholas Christakis, who argues that it takes a 60 hour work week to succeed in sociology. It drew criticism and evoked a discussion about work-life balance in sociology:

The men consider it undignified to do such manual labor, spending most of their time in the army, or in carrying out family feuds. The severe life of the women is shown in premature old age. The American Red Cross hospitals throughout the country are continually called upon to treat extreme cases of impoverishment and exhaustion due to heavy labor among women. Albania, 1920.
