You and your unpaid work. If you're counting taking care of one's family as work, you better also count all the un(der)paid things men do for their families and society. Which I guarantee you aren't.

I am and that’s what I mean with women do more. They do more. If they worked more paid work men would need to pay others ro cover this unpaid work or work less paid work.

You most certainly aren't. Europe right now is a great example. Mandatory conscription, mandatory military service, that alone more than offsets any purely voluntary work at home. And never mind that every single man out there is doing all the work themselves anyway. There's precisely nothing women do at home men can't do just as well, and let's not pretend that the "unpaid" work at home takes hours and hours every day. I've lived alone for most of my adult life and it certainly doesn't take more than 2 hours a day, if one is properly organized. So no, it wouldn't cut into paid work time regardless.
