[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to me the money paragraphs were the one about how these women were fine with the child care, but drew the line at having to do the housework too, even though that was clearly part of the job description of stay-at-home spouse. so, they were fine doing one kind of menial labor but not another. like they expected their husbands to come home from their day and help them pick up their workspace (i.e. the house)[/quote] I don't really like the idea of equating child care with housework, and then calling both "menial labor". One task is scrubbing toilets, the other task is taking care of people. And furthermore, people who are the joint responsibility of both the husband and the wife. Also the house is not merely the women's "workspace" but also the men's living quarters. But! I haven't read this article -- only a billion other similar ones.[/quote]
