I keep wondering what women do with their time and money

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics can answer that question with its Consumer Expenditure Survey and Time Use Survey. For example:

  • Dollars spent per year in the 2021–2022 period on "toys, hobbies, and playground equipment": 69 for single men, 94 for single women (for dollars spent on "pets", it's 282 vs. 647)

  • Hours spent per day in 2023 on "playing games": 0.50 for men, 0.24 for women
