“In the piece Capit highlights the advantages of a filthy house: no more visitors or, as she puts it, no more “inspections.” She writes, “If I want to be rid of guests altogether, all I have to do is show them the cabinet under the sink where an old sponge sits with a bunch of ancient cleaning rags, which have become a funky-smelling basket.” It may be a mess inside the Capit family home, but she relishes her time for doing nothing. Niksen is a feminist act of resistance.”
