The author addresses that and it fits into her desire to move away from 'emotional labor', as 'emotional' is seen as a feminine domain. 'kin work' can also be expectations to manage all home, car, and lawn maintenance tasks. Someone being able to walk in, say 'the sprinkler's broken', and walk off again is a prime example of kin work.
- tempfile 2y agoI don't really see how this relates to what the OP said. They are just saying different members of the relationship might have different standards, not so much that they have complementary standards that cancel out in some way. I think it's a different point than the "it's not just feminine stuff" point.
