I am A male feminist with a pathological deficit of melinin. As an ally to everything female, transgendered, and BIPOC, fully aware of my subjugation and privilege that I derived from said subjugation of said peoples, I must congratulate the narrator for the excellent job they did narrating this snapshot from my oppressive past. It made me realize how I burdened the females with an endless list of chores they were required to perform without pay in the home. I just thank The beneficent lords at Black Rock and Madison Avenue who have crushed this form of chattel slavery. No longer are females forced to the narrow confines of the home. Now they can bravely venture forth into the hallowed hales of corporate America. They get to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives as store clerks and receptionist, where they get to spend endless hours manning the cash register and being the face of billion dollar corporate stores. They are finally free of the burden of the crying child and the family meal.
