So, obviously this isn't activism or anything relevant. But it is something I've seen women and feminists in general complain about. Chores, whenever I see a woman doing chores or other women hearing about a woman doing chores. There's always this odd tension or frown. A certain disposition towards the thought of doing chores.
Even in family or marriage dynamics, I often see people frown upon or harshly criticize a woman having to take care of most of the house, when the man is out working. There's this odd sense of suffering and martyrdom surrounding such dynamics when chores and a woman are involved.
Not joking, I've heard people compare chores to actual work or labor. And I simply, irrevocably do not agree with that take. If a man works 50-80 hours a week, only to come home and hear his wife rant about chores being labor, unpaid labor, very hard or what not. Even though half or more than half a days worth of time was available to handle all that.
I sincerely cannot wrap my head around such dynamics. And I see this play out in feminist communities and talking points. They often use the excuse that having kids to raise and chores is somehow worse than the man working his arse off most of the day and weeks.
I'm curious to be honest, how do you all take this? Any opinions?
