Germaine Greer on housework:
"..Professor Jean-CLaude Kaufman of the Sorbonne tells us that housework is a deeply sensual experience--for women, that is, not for himself. Women do menial work because it turns them on; it doesn't turn men on, therefore they should not be expected to do it. Strange, isn't it, how much men know about sensations they have never had. Kaufman knows a woman in whom dish-washing produces explosions of joy....
Faking it in bed has clearly not been enough; now women are having to fake sexual arousal even when they are cleaning the toilet."
