Photo of Proud Boys dressed in heavy, dark blue jackets with black gloves, balaclavas pulled over their faces, sunglasses, and khaki-colored hats. The only skin visible on any of these men is their noses. The caption overhead reads, "spent 4 whole years acting like a paper mask at Costco was the trail of tears just to voluntarily dress like a racist beekeeper in 110-degree heat"

wait, is "take on" the right phrase here? Because that implies "we laid everything out on the table and we each picked what we were going to do" as opposed to "I realized that if I did not do it, it was never going to be done."

Paragraph from report summary: "Compared with dads, working moms take on more at home and have a harder time finding balance: 62% of full-time working moms say it’s difficult for them to balance work and family responsibilities, compared with 47% of dads. In different-sex couples where both parents work full time, 52% say the mom takes on more parenting tasks, while smaller shares say the dad does more (10%) or that these tasks are shared equally (39%)."
