trip rates by male vs female and by family size

"If you look at trip rates by male versus female, and look at that by size of family... the women's trip rates vary tremendously by size of family. Men's trip rates look as if they didn't even know they had a family. The men's trip rates are almost independent of family size. What it obviously says is the mother's the one doing all the hauling." (p.135)
