Man I wish I could find it. But that's pretty much the assumption that it didn't find evidence for. Apparently it's really more a matter of whether you're sozialised female or male.

That was the other assumption I was going to put but didn't have time to write it appropriately.

In more "traditional" households, the man would go to work while the woman would take care of the home. When the wife got sick, the husband typically couldn't/ wouldn't stay home to take care of her, so she'd have to take care of herself (and usually still take care of the home too). But when the husband would get sick, he'd stay home from work, and essentially add themselves to the list of things their wife needs to take care of.
