Eve Rodsky

Typically, if somebody says to me, I can't bring this up, I'll give you an example.

This is sort of funny.

So I didn't think I'd bring this up, but I think it's worth bringing up.

There is a Facebook group out of England during the pandemic called The Reasons I Hate My Husband and Kids During COVID.

I love these literal naming conventions, by the way.

So that was the name of the group.

I think it had 22,000 members in it.

And I get a lot of these random things.

People call me after funerals.

They call me after, you know, see, I get a lot of data.

So someone tagged me or DM in this group saying, Eve, you should check it out.

And they tagged me on a comment that a woman wrote in the group that said,

if my husband dies during COVID, it's going to be because of me and not the disease.

Okay.

So I reach out to her on DM and say, I would love to talk to you.

I'm a researcher.

I would love to talk to you about how you discuss unpaid labor and domestic work with your partner.

So the woman got back to me and said, thank you so much for your reaching out.

I'm glad my comment resonated and,

I don't discuss – we don't discuss domestic labor.
