What guilt-tripping misogynist crap. My mother was a cleaner: it gave her a crumb of financial independence & paid for eg my school shoes. Hiring a cleaner & paying her (nearly always *her*) well is Wages for Housework in another form. No one asks if it’s acceptable for a man.https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1236572475154223105 …

Anyway Happy International Women’s Day. Feel no guilt for paying for women’s time to do labour which is normally invisible & unpaid.

The Guardian is where middle class men's rights activism has its most mainstream home. Sex work is work but being a cleaner is a failure

And no trouble at all understanding exactly what a woman is when it comes to either sex work or cleaning.

From the obsession with having to declare oneself 'working class' to be good. Reminds me of that guy on QT who refused to believe was in top 10% earners. It can be shock to self image to those who think only helicopter wealthy are doing okay.

It's hard to be po-faced and slag off the middle class if you have regular staff working in your home or garden. Shows that have zero empathy or imagination about how others genuinely financially struggle.

One in three Britons has a cleaner? Where are these people?! Ridiculous piece.

That's not what it concludes. NOBODY should have to clean up other peoples shit unless they are disabled or incapable of doing it. Everyone in the home should clean.
