\"\"My latest Recessionwire.com column <\/a>is now up. I’d love it if GWPenners once again would post comments over there to this one in particular, as I take on my fellow Recessionwire blogger “Joe the Trader” for some rather gender-stereotyped remarks (and a huge THANK YOU for all your awesome comments past!).<\/p>\n

Joe’s column, “Out on the Street,” chronicles life after layoff for Wall Street guys.\u00c2\u00a0 In his latest, “Gendernomics”<\/a>, Joe makes a number of great points (especially in comments!) but he also falls into the she-spends, she-nags vision of things that drives me nuts.\u00c2\u00a0 Ok, so maybe it drives me nuts in part because I’ve become a nagger. But mostly it drives me nuts because the underlying presumption Joe (who is now at home) and many men seem to make is that all the yucky housework tasks are a woman’s purview, even in couples where both partners work outside the home.<\/p>\n

This recession is sure breathing new life into the ole laundry gap debate.\u00c2\u00a0 The eternal optimist in me hopes that this time, perhaps we’ll all get past merely arguing over the laundry.\u00c2\u00a0 Perhaps more men out of jobs–while their women continue to work–will ultimately result in a more equitable division of labor at home.\u00c2\u00a0 One can hope?!<\/p>\n

So here’s my response to Joe:\u00c2\u00a0 “A Gentle Response to Joe the Trader”<\/a><\/p>\n

Thanks in advance for comments, and I’ll see you over there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
