Being raised in a very patriarchal family, where the woman cooks, cleans, and does exactly as you describe in the article... i think is why for so long i had a horrible relationship with men and alcohol. This article hits so close to home for me as well. You hit the nail on the head.. I remember my grandmother used to say my brother did not have to do dishes because he is a boy, and it make his hands too soft.. i used to think WTF. This is some bullshit.

This is my new favorite article of yours.. and i love them all.. but this is gold.
