Why is it a woman’s job to “get her man to be more responsible”?

“I’m a big fan of the podcast, but I must say that I was pretty shocked by N&J’s response to the first voicemail question in most recent episode about “how to get your partner to become more responsible”. I think she completely minimized the burden of labour being shouldered by the caller. Having a forced utility outage as a result of the boyfriend’s neglect is a severe example of his incompetence (e.g., massive inconvenience it causes, follow up with utility provider required, credit score negatively affected). However by the way that Naomi and Jordana responded, you’d have though that the boyfriend had forgotten to pickup groceries one too many times.
Naomi’s final advice to the caller was to confront her boyfriend and ask him to “help her more”, but Naomi failed to see that her language still implies that it’s the girlfriend’s responsibility be the “director” (as Jordan mentioned) and the boyfriend is merely her assistant which shifts all of the responsibility back on to the girlfriend. Moreover, it puts the onus back on the caller to make yet another plea for basic respect. I think that that kind of language/advice perpetuates harmful notions that it’s a woman’s job take on the brunt of unpaid domestic and emotional labour despite the fact there are 2 grown adults in a relationship, not 1. YIKES!”

“I really enjoy the podcast and love hearing about friendship issues that aren’t as well talked about as those tend to be harder than romantic relationships at time. Hoping they may review my email on the podcast!”

“I love the pace and the attitude of the hosts—just a perfect mix of thoughtful, practical, realistic, and empathetic. And most of all, I love their accents. Makes me feel like I’m over for cocktails and having a fabulous time.”

“I love the empathy and sense of humor Jordana brings to U Up and so excited to see her bring that to this new pod with Dr. Naomi! I’m looking forward to the pod examining issues of friendships, family relationships and longer term romantic relationships. Go Jordana!! 💕”
