When I was doing my degree I worked for an office removals company. Some of the people I worked with were women and what I found was that a lot of the men, out of some kind of male pride, would insist that they did the heavier work. I'd also notice that a lot of them would try and lift heavier things on their own if a woman was around to watch, than if they were just around men. They'd then slate these same women off behind their back for not pulling their weight. I'm not saying that reflects what goes on elsewhere but I saw it a lot.
