—A.P. (Sir Alan Patrick)

“As long as the “woman’s work” that some men do is socially devalued, as long as it is defined as woman’s work, as long as it’s tacked onto a “regular” work day, men who share it are likely to develop the same jagged mouth and frazzled hair as the coffee-mug mom. The image of the new man is like the image of the supermom: it obscures the strain.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

“The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
