The Politics of Housework was far less than a democratic discussion. It rivaled a childish case of “he said, she said”. That is not to say that the author’s feelings are insignificant. However, I feel that the argument is one that will never come to an end and I have heard it from countless times. Pat Mainardi’s essay has actually rendered me speechless. I cannot think of anything to say about it, except for the fact that it reminded me of an episode of “Desperate Housewives”. There was an argument over housework between Lynette and Tom (one of the main characters and her husband). In the end, I think the issue is not that there is an unequal division of work, but that one spouse does not feel appreciated for the work he or she has done.
