Miranda Zickler: 我认为《我讨厌家务劳动》这本书主要讲的是抑郁症，以及丈夫不愿做任何家务。佩格·布拉肯在书中表达了对丈夫无能的无奈，并建议女性接受现实，不要期望丈夫帮忙。她甚至暗示，如果女性真的让丈夫像他一样无用，并且看到并相信这一点，那么也许她们会更快地摆脱他。我从小看着妈妈试图让爸爸做一些小事，但总是失败。这本书也让我意识到，清洁产品行业现在非常庞大，我们被迫购买所有这些产品，但实际上很多产品并不必要。我们应该减少使用的东西，不要用东西填满我们的房子。 Sarah Marshall: 我认为这本书的价值在于它揭示了家庭主妇的困境，以及她们在家庭中承担的性别角色。佩格·布拉肯在书中表达了对家庭主妇的同情，并鼓励她们为自己而活，不要为了满足别人的期望而牺牲自己的幸福。这本书也让我反思了我们与物品的关系，以及我们是否过度消费。我们应该减少使用的东西，不要用东西填满我们的房子。同时，我也认为这本书的一些建议已经过时，例如关于丈夫不愿做家务的观点。我的父母在家庭事务上非常平等，我相信现代社会中，性别平等已经成为一种趋势。

Shownotes Transcript

For many of us, house cleaning is a daunting, unpleasant affair, but for You’re Wrong About editor Miranda Zickler, it is a love language. Continuing the Peg Bracken Book Club tradition set forth by our I Hate Cookbook episode with Sarah Archer, we discuss The I Hate to Housekeep Book, a tongue-in-cheek guide for housewives that came out in 1962. Miranda also shares her background as a housecleaner as she and Sarah get into all the figurative cracks and crevices of the archetypal Home to figure out why keeping our space clean can feel so emotionally charged.
