The Mental Load in Relationships
This chapter explores the concept of the mental load in relationships, particularly focusing on the disproportionate burden placed on women. It discusses the small mental tasks and logistics that women often take on, as well as the unequal division of labor in relationships. The chapter also examines the influence of societal expectations, gender stereotypes, and weaponized incompetence on the mental load.
