I’d much rather believe the sexual abusers and racists and the homophobes and haters will get what they deserve."

Ever since Rabbi Harold Kushner asked that question in his 1981 book, we’ve all been pretty familiar with the answer.

"The problem is that so many of us – both on and off the spectrum - are expected to just know how to address conflict. And as this situation demonstrates, we often don’t."

Married and cohabitating mothers rack up approximately three hours of housework per day, compared to 2.5 and two hours respectively undertaken by divorced and never-married mothers.
