I had to restrain myself from bringing Martha Stewart into this post, but a sequel would definitely be about how she is one of the very few women to make a f**cking fortune off of housekeeping and homemaking. She made it valuable. I think that's why there was a witch hunt to take her town.

Another post that it’s hard to hit the “like” button for, because there’s nothing to “like” about this except for your labor to pull the argument together. Kind of like housework in that sense. I personally am a man who enjoys household labor, particularly making dinner and doing dishes (so finite and accomplishable) and back in the day, having alone time with my sons to free Claire up to do Claire things. We ran wild in a Wolfpack! Your point about dividing and conquering is apt. Equal toilet cleaning under the law: if you use it, you need to help clean it. Is that so hard? Evidently yes, which is maddening.
