The sexual politics of household chores
One writer reenacts a day in the life of a 1950s housewife. Meanwhile, will doing the dishes get men laid?
Sarah Hepola [2008-03-10]

  • 1950s housewives...

    ...existed on TV.

    So in recreating June Cleaver's life and comparing it to today's woman's life, you're displaying, uh - nothing.

    Believe it or not: Housework and raising kids and taking care of the domestic side of things is (drumroll, please) actual work on parity with a career, and (at least the kids part) far more rewarding in the long run.

    Peace,

    XY
