On the topic of inequality in domestic labor: short thread.

I was recently talking with a friend, a fellow SAHM, about how we both feel that if we aren't doing the lion's share of childcare, housework, & general Mental Home Load, we ought to feel guilty. NOT bc our husbands...
...have ever intentionally made us feel that, but because the circles in which we grew up (variants of conservative evangelical Christian) placed so much emphasis on the importance of being a good wife & mom, who juggles all the "menial" household duties with grace & aplomb. +
We were taught never to nag or argue or "talk back," always to serve, to sacrifice, to pour ourselves out for our husbands & families & church communities. And to a certain extent, this is a reasonable expectation of a follower of Jesus--we're all, regardless of gender, called...

An answer to a question literally no one was asking: what would Jane Austen characters do on Halloween, if that holiday were marked by people of the gentry in Regency England? 🧵

(Please enjoy my truly terrible graphic design skills. Made with love tho 💕) A very amateur graphic with text that says "Jane Austen Halloween" over an engraving of Jane Austen wearing a witch hat on an orange background. Clip art of bats on the left; clip art of a smiling ghost on the right.
First up, ya girl Catherine Morland would be ALL ABOUT haunted mansions. She and your local Gothic hovel of horrors would seem to be MADE for each other! Felicity Jones as Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey 2007
Mr. Collins would greet trick-or-treaters with affability & condescension. Each child would receive their own personal copy of Fordyce's Sermons and would be advised of the very great honor that had been bestowed on them as they unwittingly walked past the residence of LADY CATHE Charlotte Lucas Collins and Mr. William Collins outside Hunsford Parsonage in Pride and Prejudice 1995

If Jane Austen Characters Used the Internet: A Thread (Part Two)

Colonel Brandon would have a blog, which everybody spoke highly of, and no one remembered to subscribe to. Image
Emma and Mr. Knightley would spend all their movie nights glued to IMDb, arguing over where they'd seen that actor before. Image
Emma would also be, of course, the newest Dear Prudence. Image

How Jane Austen Characters Would Use the Internet (If It Somehow Became Available to Regency England): A Thread. 🧵

Mrs. Bennet, when not stalking Zillow, would have multiple profiles for each of her daughters on Tinder, and struggle to understand the concept of "catfishing." Image
John Willoughby would also be on Tinder, where he invented the concept of catfishing. Image
Miss Bates would have a love affair with Facebook. Not on Facebook. With Facebook. She would like & share & comment in all caps & copy & paste to Repost So Her Info Would Stay Private as if her very life depended on it. Image
