Okay, so I wrote a bit if an impassioned, controversial and slightly angry article for the Conversation about housework STILL being done by women. Again. And again.

But what can we do? @leahruppanner says:
-universal free high-quality childcare
-paid caregiver leave, and/or
-better and longer term cash payments for caregivers.
& comprehensive policies that allow men to step into care-giving roles without retribution and penalty at work. 🙌🏾
