  1. The COO/CFO article was bizarre. So many instances where wifey takes care of all the admin work and hubby does finances. It was basically rationalizing the stereotypical split where women take on all admin work but providing a few counter examples to make it look like the article wasn’t just coming up for new names for traditional gender roles.

    2. For a typical household, the work of the COO seems so outsize to the work of the CFO. I am off to sell this concept to my husband, on the condition that I am the CFO.

    3. i mean, the wall street journal is a shell of its former self so that’s not surprising… a patriarchal view? shocking. let me go read more of their front page stories about how climate change is a hoax that are opinion pieces not labeled as such.

    4. It’s the WSJ. Quite frequently, their perspectives on gender (wealth, inequality, etc.) appear to come from the wrong century.

    5. It’s 2023, though. We can’t just have traditional gender rolls -or anything else for that matter- without giving them a news article and shiny new labels.
      Honestly, the entire article was like being subjected to someone who talks a lot but doesn’t say anytjing.
