Are Women Carrying the Social Weight?

February 20
30 mins

Episode Description

There’s a term floating around the internet called “man keeping.” The idea? That women often carry the mental and emotional load of maintaining friendships, family connections, holiday plans, thank-you notes, birthday texts, and basically the entire social ecosystem of a household. Meanwhile, many men… just don’t think about it. Or don’t care in the same way.


In this episode, Emily and Jason talk about why that dynamic exists. Is it laziness? Wiring? Cultural expectation? Or are men and women simply valuing different things?
