Are you a "nag"? Or are you simply emotionally labored?
Last week the internet blazed atwitter with conversations and think-pieces on "Emotional Labor" as the result of an article by Gemma Hartley written for Harper's Bazaar called "Women Aren't Nags - We're Fed Up."
Emotional Labor is the process of managing feelings and expressions to fulfill the the emotional requirements of a job or task.
Essentially women, particularly those in heterosexual relationships, are TIYAD. Overworked. Underpaid. And still expected to cook dinner for the family even though her husband got home from work two hours before her. #SKRESSED.
We explore the dynamic and pose questions related to the phenomenon of "emotional labor" and why it seems women are the only ones experiencing it.
Is it a biological gender difference? Do women care about the details more so than men? Is it a communication issue? Is it an acceptance issue? Are women doomed to be stressed!?
We discuss that and more!
