Page 5 | Does anyone else find Christmas patriarchal?

I always remember my mother struggling in the kitchen having to cook the turkey and all the trimmings for my father. For hundreds of years women have been expected to do this and well as shop for all the presents, do the washing up afterwards, decorate the house, etc. We don't need this type of stress and have better uses for our time. I do wonder if Christmas needs to be addressed (It's also a festival that celebrates a ^man^).
