I'm fed up of seeing "keep calm and carry on" nonsense. Particularly in respect of criticism people being concerned about Coronovirus.
Back in the first six decades of the 20th Century, domestic stuff was done by women for the most part without domestic aids like washing machines, hoovers, dishwashers, food processors etc. And, of course, reproductive rights and contraception. Or even bloody supermarkets. And cars. And paid employment.
They had to keep calm and carry on doing domestic work without any of these things that make our lives easier.
Easy to keep calm and carry on if you rely on other people's reduced expectations.

"Keep calm and carry on" meant drudgery for women. We need to stop kidding ourselves and be more realistic
