[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the woman whose son liked having her home making snacks, I am sure he did. I am sure your husband likes it too. I am just saying that this is part of the reason that women at every office I have worked in tend to do all of the cooking and cleaning up after work parties too. Caretaking is perceived by man as our "talent" and society undervalues that. I have less problem when a family with young children opts for this division of labor. To those with older or grown children who just "like the schedule" of volunteer work and manicures while their husband is off slaving away at some job he may or may not enjoy...that strikes me as exploitive, and transactional. My two cents. [/quote] My daughter appreciated having someone mind the homefront. She doesn’t assume that person has to be a woman, much less her. Your position seems internally contradictory — so is it wage labor or uncompensated labor that’s exploitative, or both? [/quote]
