Woman's Work

The point is that these "menial" tasks are done for the love of home. Chesterton says it beautifully in his "Emancipation of Domesticity" in which he says that the feminists coining of the work in the home as "drudgery" is something difficult to understand because the work is not dull and lifeless when done with love. Chesterton goes on to say that the women drudges in the home as a man drudges at the Cathedral of Armiens or at the Guns of Trafalgar. We have unfortunately been so conditioned by feminist ideology that even these tasks in the home are "demeaning". Are they? I think in the end we will find out when done with love they outshine all the "glorious" positions in the world. Would pictures of women cleaning their cubicles in a sterile corporation or fighting hand to hand combat in a foxhole, or underneath a car fixing an oxygen sensor be any more glamorous? Maybe in this new era of vacant homes we could put these new images up and they would be accepted more readily?
