"It's St. Nick, Not Nicole": The Yuletide Grief of Kin-Keeping
Presents and the patriarchy? Misogyny under the mistletoe? Santa and... sexism? Today we're talking about Christmas and the unfair division of holiday labor that happens during this season of merriment. In "traditional households" most of the holiday chores, decorating, Christmas cards, present shopping, gift wrapping, treats and dinners, and hosting, all tend to fall to one individual: the woman. Why does it happen today even in our more progressive society? How are some couples able to escape it? Why do some women not really want it to stop? What do the men have to say about it all? Today we discuss it all with some humor and also dive into what one area in Ireland is doing to celebrate the extra holiday labor that women tend to take on every year during December.
