#122 | Men as Specialists and Women as Generalists

About This Episode

In this episode I dive into an excerpt from G.K Chesterton’s essay, The Emancipation of Domesticity, which gives us an important insight about the roles of men and women. Chesterton argued that men are specialists and women are generalists and paired with the greater male variability, we can use this insight to uncover many of the cultural, domestic, and social issues that exist between us.

Listen in to learn about what Chesterton thought a woman’s duty was, why the west have the most free women on the planet, why modern women want to quit their high-status outside of the home jobs, why women are more geared towards generalization, and much more.
