Keeping women in familial servitude served a lot of men very well, and there’s no doubt that there’s going to be some moaning that this privilege is fast fading, but it’s a matter of priorities. Women’s rights trumps men’s comforts and pleasures, and all the hysterical language describing the latter as “broken families” doesn’t change that. Men have two choices in the face of this fairly straightforward feminist worldview: Kick and scream and demand the right to oppress women to get the cooking/cleaning/childcare advantages, or accept the reality of things with grace and realize that there’s advantages for men in an egalitarian family structure.
Have been out of the loop, so this is largely a catch-up edition. Anyone who has any recommendations (whether of their own work or someone elses) feel free to join in the orgy via comments. As always, much love (and respect) to all.
