Women tend to disproportionately bear the weight of the mental load.
That translates into a “second shift” at home: more hours spent on parenting, housework, emotional caretaking, and more.
When it comes to managing that mental load, so often the advice to women is one of two things:
Delegate it. Or lower your standards.
And while there’s nothing wrong with either of those approaches, that’s not the only way to “offload” tasks.
I get on my soapbox a little bit this week, to talk about how the mental load ends up pigeon-holing women, the sexist taxes that (too often) go unchallenged, and why we deserve better.
It’s time to talk about what it really means to offload the mental load, and how we start to make that happen.
