Confession: We are Active Members of The Cult of Domesticity

cold pizza party

This week we talk about Amber A'lee Frost's recent piece for Current Affairs, "Against Domesticity." In the piece Amber argues that, “Attempts to elevate and fetishize household labor are deeply insidious…” because such efforts hide the real work and value behind traditionally feminine labor. We unpack the piece further by asking whether being a consumer or producer makes you freer? Why are those time-lapse cooking videos so popular, and is a gallery wall really worth all the effort? (Yes.) Finally, we close out with a more nuanced understanding of why adulting is so popular among the kids these days.
