"A game no one wins," that's the hopeless view that this woman has of the most normal roles of American women. Her piece was published in the NYT last November.
Why is a married heterosexual mother doomed to be a loser in life? From an analysis in this article, the main problem seems to be that mothers do more homemaking chores than their husbands.
"A recent Bureau of Labor Statistics survey reported that women spend 47 more minutes per day on housework than their spouses (and this number does not include childcare, grocery shopping, or errands)."
It begs the question: if time spent in housework were perfectly equal for both husband and wife, would wives have a chance of a happy life?
