This is a must-read for every parent. It not only exposes the ableist myths that make modern parenting so untenable, but it also shows how the creativity and ingenuity of disability culture can guide our path forward.

Quotes by Gemma Hartley (?)

“I had been conditioned my whole life to think one step ahead, to anticipate the needs of those around me and care about them deeply. Emotional labor was a skill set I had been trained in since childhood. My husband, on the other hand, hadn’t received that same education. He is a caring person, but he is not a skilled carer.”
― Gemma Hartley, Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward

“He restated that all I ever needed to do was ask him for help, but therein lies the problem. I don’t want to micromanage housework. I want a partner with equal initiative.”
― Gemma Hartley, Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward

“While women have spent the past few decades being encouraged to reach for the masculine ideal of success, being told they can become anything their hearts desire in the professional realm, they have not been relieved of any of the emotional labor that waits for them when they return home.”
― Gemma Hartley, Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward
