People managed because women didn't work.
- sukilot 11y agoWomen worked, as full+ time homemakers. For example, by hauling groceries like an ox instead of using a car.
- bunderbunder 11y agoYep. And the distance they'd have to haul them could be as great as 6 whole blocks, judging by the density of former neighborhood groceries in the historic neighborhood I used to live in. Conversely, I suspect the density of Snap Fitness locations was much lower. But you have to take the bad with the good. Incidentally, in my (currently) single-income family I'm expected to pick up groceries on the way home from work. When we were two income, we'd share that responsibility. Historical chore assignments were a product of more than one factor, and I don't think anyone would suggest that all of them were desirable.
