Overheard in Class

"I have a hope for my generation that gender roles will be reversed and men will GET TO stay at home and cook and women will HAVE TO go out and see what it's like to work and run the world."

Um, riiiiiiight. 'Cause women who cook and clean and raise children and enable their partners to simultaneously have children and work a full time job aren't WORKING, they just do that for the fun of it. When someone who's NOT your mother or wife washes your clothes or cooks your dinner or babysits your kids you pay them. When it's your wife, while you're not paying her you tell her she should be grateful she isn't subject to personal autonomy and cultural and economic power. Don't you just LOVE having your labor illegitimized by frat boys!
