Good for her! So what does she have to complain to anyone about?

She complained about OJ saying women currently have more time for cleaning, when, if you are working from home and home schooling children, that is simply not true.

Owen did not use the word "women", nor did he say "more time" His exact words were "If someone can afford a cleaner, they should be paying them to stay at home and doing their own cleaning - they've certainly got the time to do it"

He addressed this post to a man (Theo Usherwood) It was neither singling out women nor saying this is a universal condition It is talking specifically about people who are privileged enough to have the money to pay a cleaner, and is obviously true

It’s not “obviously true” if the person, whether male or female, is both trying to work from home and home school.

Yes, it is, because if your budget was flush enough that you could afford the expense of paying a cleaner, then you can cut back on earning money now

If someone was right on the bubble money-wise they might not be able to absorb the loss of income *and* pay their cleaner, which sucks But the fact remains that they still don't actually need to call in their cleaner It's a nonessential service

I am extremely resistant to arguments that assume a "lifestyle floor" -- "I'm a person who makes $100k and I have to live like a person who makes $100k, I can't just become a person who makes $50k"

It's utterly toxic to any discussion of economic equity, it throws it out the window right away, and moreover it makes you look like an utter piece of shit from the outside If people who *never could afford cleaners* are somehow surviving under COVID-19 then so can you
