Is It Time For Women to Go on a Domestic Strike?

I keep thinking we’re making headway in the general area of equality, and then something happens that snaps me back to reality. Sure, sometimes it’s an issue like the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Other times, it’s something so small it’s maddening.

Recently, I was set off by a man’s alleged inability to cut a piece of cheese. That’s it. That's the list.

Recently, a bunch of us got together for a late lunch and happy hour at a friend’s house. It took us about an hour to put everything together. We asked my friend’s son-in-law to do one thing: cut up some cheese.

He complained for five whole minutes that he’s not good at cutting cheese, offering detailed accounts of what he would do the screw up the cheese, including claiming not to know how even to open the block of cheese.
