I don’t have a cleaner (have no justification for that, no matter what I make, plus no one will clean the house with vinegar and soap like me, nor will they want to), so learning what a general cleaner does for the pay, makes me realize that I would get nothing out of it. No pleasure at all because they don’t DEEP CLEAN which is what I COULD have paid for. But won’t.

I read this book Invisible Women: Data Bias in a world designed by men, and it sort of opened my eyes to things around me that absolutely fit what the book is saying. I don’t agree 100%, but it is an eye-opening read.
