good grief, that's an *amazingly* bad take. I'm glad he's got time to do the cleaning, but there are plenty of people* with kids and older family members to care for, plus homeschooling responsibilities etc etc *women

The objection is to Owen saying that people have time. Every family I know with a cleaner has pair their cleaner throughout, has no intention of bringing them back yet, but are exhausted and don’t need to be patronised.

If they lose sight of the fact that they're still better off and always were better off than the people they were paying to do the cleaning then they absolutely do need to be patronized

By “they”, you mean women. I know I earn more than our cleaner. Why do you object to women paying other women to clean?

I don't object to it, I object to people concern trolling about how it should be treated as an "essential service" and we should allow the infection rate to rise again by sending them back into people's houses

Also the "women hiring women" thing is ridiculous and caves in directly to a conservative patriarchal framing Do single men not hire cleaners? If a married couple where both members work hire a cleaner isn't the husband also hiring a cleaner?

Someone posted an absurd take about how "You're judging the wife for hiring a cleaner but not the husband for hiring an electrician" IT'S THE SAME HOUSE THEY BOTH LIVE THERE BOTH THE CLEANER AND THE ELECTRICIAN WORK FOR BOTH OF THEM

And the comparison also doesn't work, because you hire an electrician as it would be illegal or exceedingly dangerous to do that work for yourself.
