To me it sounded like you were just defending why we work more hours than a medieval peasant.

Edit: plus peasants worked fewer hours in a day for a few reasons. Yes part of it is just the seasonality of farming, but reaping and sowing are not the only aspects to that job. They worked fewer hours for reasons like the fact the clock hadn't been invented yet and so the owning class had a harder time enforcing strict schedules and work was built more around a natural rhythm. Also medieval peasants had a lot more housework and upkeep they needed to do outside of work. Repairing and mending clothing, the house, prepping food, washing clothes and dishes, and all without things like sewing machines, washing and drying machines, and modern ovens.
