Giving orders in the kitchen
Sir, — The writer of Saturday’s editorial article. “Giving orders in the kitchen,” sounds terrifed that one awful day he may actually be required to dry a dish or make a bed. I am not sur-
prised that he would prefer to leave all this to the submissive little woman in the kitchen — if he is unlucky enough to have one. Surely the point of Dr Robson’s suggestions is that for anyone with a modicum of intelligence, “providing a home and caring for a family,” while sometimes emotionally rewarding, can also be boring, repetitive, and utterly demoralising. If couples can share these necessary chores, and the responsibility for them, they can then both, male and female, have the opportunity to seek additional fulfilment and reward in other areas of life. — Yours, etc. HILARY HUNTER. October 29, 1977.
