No Sexism in Kraft's Dishwashing Remarks

At Thursday night's NorCo Council meeting, I could hear a gasp behind me when Ken Kraft made a remark to Peg Ferraro about washing the dishes. Some people evidently thought he was being a sexist, but Kraft and Ferraro had a more benign explanation. At a party at Peg's house, Peg designated Kraft as the dish washer for certain glasses that he was the only one tall enough to reach, and Kraft dutifully washed those glasses. That has been a running joke between the two since then.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
