127: Unpacking Gender Norms Part 1: Understanding the Connection to the Invisible Load with Gender Expert Kate Mangino, Ph.D.
The vast majority of my clients who are in different-sex relationships share a common concern. “My husband doesn’t help around the house.” The invisible load in the home is real—and gender is the number one predictor of who carries it.
Kate Mangino, gender expert and author of Equal Partners: Improving Gender Equality at Home, joins me to discuss the role gender plays in the distribution of invisible labour. In part 1, we focus on where gender norms in our relationship come from and how they impact all partners.
(For the second part of our conversation, how to break out of gender norms and improve equality, catch our upcoming episode!)
