Dont know why you're being downvoted. Chore gap is a big issue in hetero-couple households (the majority), and chores and household caring/tending work _is_ a big support for capitalism which capitalism refuses to acknowledge (by refusing to remunerate it). But, capitalism still benefits from it. Guess who usually does this work? Clue: not men.

Most probably downvoted by men who refuse to acknowledge the value provided by unremunerated work to society.

> unrenumerated - you mean unremunerated, right?

(I'm what traditional/conservative society would call a "man")


Is the fact that my comment was so downvoted as to get flagged an example of men -majority of hn readers- refusing to acknowledge unremunerated work, and the fact that men are privileged from having to perform this unremunerated household work in our society?
