I personally was unpleasantly surprised by how many of the moves and strategies men use in order to maintain their near-monopoly on leisure within the household which Mainardi describes I have actually encountered in my own life. I do not think there is a secret school where all such techniques are taught. Rather, this probably proves that patriarchy, as a systematic phenomenon, follows the same routs when it encounters opposition. Now I intend to look even more precisely at the interactions in the context of everyday life to uncover which agendas are they guided by. I have also taken some important lessons from Koedt’s essay as well.
