emily, yesterday, we had something, a rising share of women as breadwinners, putting career first. do you see this as a countermovement to this? are they going on at the same time, both in some people s lives at the same time? same ti? yeah, definitely. you know, there are an increasing number of female breadwinners, and there s a slow but increasing growth of men who are staying home and caring for their children. so i think we re very slowly redefining these things. people talk a lot about the growth of the new stay-at-home dad. you know, there are stay-at-home dads but only 3% of all stay-at-home parents, just like women are only 4% of all fortune 500 ceos. so we re seeing some shifts. they re just happening really slowly. i want to make sure as we embrace this domestic movement it doesn t feel gendered, it doesn t feel like women returning to the home. i would like to see men equally interested in this stuff. yeah, emily, when i was reading your book, you definitely convinced
yes. we can. literally pickle anything. but it s not just pickling nowadays. it s curing, knitting, baking. any gerund you can think of. but maybe you ve see the resurgence, and not just in berkley or brooklyn. it s part of a larger do-it-yourself trend that s literally sweeping the country. some argue going to the local farmers market or baking your own bread is something deeper. it s a desire for autonomy, in time borne out of a mistrust of large institutions and rejection of uniformed corporate culture. this movement is what is called a new domesticity, and she goes into how it can redefine a whole generation and especially for women. how are you? thanks for being here. thank you for having me.
