Addendum

Actually I did think that the most interesting part of the article, linked below, was this quote:

If a mother truly wants to be radical, she adds, "get your guy to do 50 per cent of the housework."

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Seems really very inappropriate, really. Because let's face it: any women who can afford to spend a night at the bar with her friends? Clearly has someone at home holding down the fort.

Also seconded. Who are these people, and what decade do they live in? Yeah, not everything in our house is perfectly equal, but believe me, divvying up the housework is NOT our problem.

Goddamn it, I get so annoyed by these sorts of stories. On my own behalf, and on my husband's behalf.

(ooh! verification word: parse!)

Nikki Strong-Boag is actually a historian (she teaches women's and children's history at UBC). So that may explain it ;)
