I've been thinking of a new perspective on this... I believe that in the rush to promote equality (which is always a good thing), we have unwittingly downplayed the significance of the home to our society. The most important job in humanity is the raising and upbringing of children, as it determines the capabilities that they will have in life - even over so-called professional endeavors. In the home, a child is taught the skills and moral characteristics that will allow them to be self-independent. The skills which allow someone to mature into a successful businessman, engineer, or professor must first be aquired from a parent or custodian at home. It is also a place not only of learning, but also healing, as an energetic husband or wife returning from the office to chaos would not be energetic and successful for very long. Think of it like a professional race team - the driver gets the recognition, but anyone who knows the sport can tell you that every race is won or lost in pit row. The driver is simply the figurehead of the team. So this can be misleading. It is everyone's responsibility to exercise good stewardship over their belongings, men and women alike. A man of character who sees his house in need of cleaning will clean it; regardless of who society implies should be doing it - simply because his home is a reflection of him, and he is not comfortable seeing it in disorder. A career is not a justification for neglecting one's responsibilities, man or woman alike. So yes, women should be responsible for their home - just not confined to it. 8) Sorry for rambling. Holla!
