"... to legitimize the housework that women were already performing ..." Yeesh! Is there really something 'illegitimate' about housework? Such a ridiculous tone. All work is important and should be done well and with pride. A person is not less than or "in a ghetto" if their contribution to a family is taking care of most of the housework. I'm a guy and I remember taking Home Ec and Shop, and then those being phased out. All students were expected to take both, and I remember learning a lot there. I suppose its much more important to learn about "Catcher in the Rye".
