The Power of the Domestic

We were talking in class a while back about the power of the domestic and women’s roles. Mostly in the fact that if women are in the kitchen they are responsible for the taking care of the family. And this puts them in a position of authority, they can make food that is unhealthy or healthier, they can concoct broth to make someone feel better. They can control a lot of the way that the family and the home function.

I never thought about that.

Oh and they can poison the family as well. If they wanted to.

Just a thought.
