Amelia Earhart, for one, wasn’t having any of it. In a 1932 letter to The New York Times, she implored the paper to call her by her “professional name.”
“Despite the mild expression of my wishes, and those of G.P.P.,” she wrote, referring to her husband, the publisher George Palmer Putnam, “I am constantly referred to as ‘Mrs. Putnam’ when the Times mentions me in its columns.”
“However,” she added, “it is for many reasons more convenient for both of us to be simply ‘Amelia Earhart.’” (The Times heeded her request.)

I’ve started from the beginning, and this is the episode which I’m watching now - really, you ought to tune in. I’ve not heard such wonderful conversation in decades.

Yes! I’m catching up on VoxTox on YouTube; I’m exactly a month behind. OF course, she’s now doing them only once a week.

The cop that came to attend my husband and dog this morning made repeated domestic violence jokes to both myself and my husband. Very disgusting. I might file a complaint. He’s creating a hostile environment for people who might need to report DV.

I’m having a hard time even processing this article. As (I think) most of y’all are aware, my husband and I had an absolute barn-burner fight a few weeks ago over childcare in the pandemic. Very close to the end of our marriage. We decided, in the wake of it, to try thing my way: schedules of who gets what time, with trade offs for the emergency nature of his work. It’s been a dream. We’re both getting shit done, everyone is less tense, kids are getting more attention. It’s like things were normal. After the dog attack, with him being laid up, I really miss his contributions to the running of the household. But I also miss him being present mentally (he’s on a lot of painkillers), which I didn’t before we adopted the new system.
But I just can’t imagine him saying he can’t hack the childcare while he’s unemployed. I can’t. I can’t imagine acquiescing to that. I keep thinking about this article as the kids ask when daddy can play again, and my daughter makes him more get well cards. Do their kids ask for that? I just feel so sad reading this article. And that’s without processing the broader social issues.

Her husband was exhausted. “I can’t do it,” she remembers him saying: “I can’t watch him for this long.”
Seriously… man up, dude.
Her husband would plead with her to “get off the computer,” she said, teaching Ryan a trick to get her attention: When she wasn’t responding, her son would call her “Aimee” instead of “Mom.”
What a manipulative douche!
“I thought to myself, ‘I can carry this company forward, but I’m going to be so broken. My son will be so broken. My husband will be so broken.’ ”
So, she’s being forced to do her job AND the mental labor for her family…
With kids at home, and families forced to take on significantly more domestic labor, women are opting out of the workforce.
Or more precisely, being forced out…
In the end, Aimee said, she felt she only had one option: “I had to choose being a mother and being at home.”
No… you were forced to do so by your man-baby husband who couldn’t hack parenting for three days! WTF? Get ANGRY lady!!!
The decision to quit is a privilege.
Absolutely… she’s still being forced to make that decision by her infantile husband.
