Sounds like a bad deal. My advice: try to renegotiate or hook up with one of the other type who must be doing pretty well.

Other thoughts:

(a) Is this meant to be evidence of the inefficiency of women? Working 2/3 of the time while accumulating just 10% of the income would imply that. There are other explanations, I suppose (sexism, history, division of labor) but the simplest one is inefficiency.  I don’t think someone should produce a chart implying the ineffeciency of women without arguing for it outright. The suggestion is cowardly and a bit offensive.

(b) If you have 10% of the world’s income and just 1% of the property, this suggests there is something wrong with your investment strategy. You might want to find a new investment adviser.
