In re: The compassionate conservative approach to housework.

I am very socially conservative on gender & family. I generally detest feminists.

However, I do agree with liberals and feminists on the particular issue that women are forced to do much of the house work, particularly in the kitchen. Ideally:

• Prosperous families should employ staff to do house work.
• In families where both husband and wife are working and bringing home money, they should share in the housework for which they cannot afford full time or part time staff.
• In poor families where the wife does not work outside, the husband should lend a helping hand whenever possible. In such families, if the wife works & the husband is unemployed, it should be the other way around.

I keep warning my fellow compassionate conservatives - this is a low hanging fruit. Reform the domestic space. Get rid of your "maan/biwi ke haath ka khana" mindset.

Feminists will continue to use this issue to destroy our family system and society.
