Why is it that whenever women bring up the nonstop, invisible labor of running a household—like cooking, cleaning, and keeping everything running—someone always chimes in with, ‘Well, I take out the trash,’ or, ‘What about oil changes?’ Listen, I’ll gladly trade your quarterly oil change or weekly trash run for the relentless daily grind of meal prepping, cleaning, and managing the million other tasks that never end. They’re just not the same. One-off tasks don’t compare to the constant mental and emotional load that domestic labor brings.
