in my family, you help in the kitchen! everyone! all genders! we visit my in-laws, and all three adults who are competent to do so cook AND clean, and all children help out with both. we visit my side and it's hard to get people OUT of the kitchen. everyone's gone mad with helping cook and setting the table and doing dishes! I'm more than happy to participate.
but mannnnnn if I was expected to do it just because I am socially read as a woman? and all the socially-assigned-as-women and/or actual women people had to do it? and not the other people? if i politely refused it would be the nicest version of me. much more likely to be all Watch Volcano Laura Go.
