One of the most important distinctions that need to be made is real feminism compared to political feminism. I believe this line sums it up ” She claims that the Liberated Woman is sexually active and has a career while Women’s Liberation has to do with sharing housework in the home.” I think it’s odd that men believe women have to do all the housework, especially when much housework can be avoided. Simply taking off your shoes, cleaning the plates, or even doing laundry should not be a “women’s only” task. This leads to the understanding that women have to take care of men. I remember I used to be in a relationship where I was expected to clean up and organize his room every time I went to this boy’s house. What really would upset me was, if my room were ever messy, I’d be judged, and if I asked for help, he would sit on my bed and pretend he wasn’t listening to me or go to the living room.
