00:00Women aren't better at housework.

00:01Just so you know, women aren't more organized by nature.

00:05They're not born with a built-in calendar

00:07for non-uniform days.

00:09They don't emerge from the womb already knowing

00:11which cupboard the pasta goes in.

00:13They're not naturally better at remembering birthdays,

00:16PE kits, permission slips, and parents' evenings,

00:19or that strange invisible deadline

00:21when the milk has to be replaced before catastrophe strikes.

00:24Society just decided that forgetting was a male privilege

00:28because when a man forgets

00:30to get the school uniform sorted, he's busy.

00:33But when a woman forgets, she's failing at motherhood.

00:36She has to learn to hold a second job inside her head

00:38called the invisible list.

00:40And it hums quietly in the background all day.

00:43Dinner, dentists, packed lunch, birthdays, socks that fit.

00:47It's not organization, it's survival.

00:50And another one of the great shitty tricks of the patriarchy

00:53was convincing people that all of this unpaid mental labor

00:57were some sort of gender-based personality trait.

01:00Men aren't bad at domestic life, you'll see that in some men.

01:03But a lot of men have just never been made responsible for it.

01:06They've been allowed to float.

01:09They get to live in the house without carrying the house.

01:12And meanwhile, women don't manage families, they absorb them.

01:16They become the human reminder system, the walking archive,

01:20the emergency contact for literally everything.

01:23And it's not because they're better,

01:25it's because someone has to be.

01:27So the next time you hear someone saying,

01:30ah, they're just better at this stuff, translate it correctly.

01:33She's not better.

01:34She's just the only one who wasn't allowed to forget.

01:36She's just the only one who wasn't allowed to forget.

01:37I was just the only one who was allowed to forget.

01:37I was just the only one who was allowed to forgive me.

01:37So when I was just the only other family,

01:37I was able to forget.
