In the article “The Politics of Housework” by Pat Mainardi. It is argued about the idea that men have generation by generation that women should be submissive, calm, she should obey her husband and they should take care of domestic work in the house. This is because a stereotype was created that women are the weaker sex and men are the ones who have to be in control of everything, but that is not true, everything can be 50/50 between both sexes. Mainardi argues how the woman is the one who gets the idea that she should stay at home and the man goes out to work hard. My opinion is that everything should be mutual, just as the man can work himself, the woman can work and divide her responsibilities, because it is a union of living together, not of having a burden
