Mervyn I wholeheartedly support your idea. Unfortunately there is no woman active on Goanet except perhaps Bernice Pereira who might take up your challenge.
I belong to the Sandwich Generation. As a young adult Women’s Lib was just catching on and still a joke in the beginning. Males ridiculed it and later paid the price. At home I had a mother who worked full time and yet laid out the table and tended house in the spare time she had. Poor mum when I think back on it. Mine was still a male-dominated generation though not terribly like my father’s. For example I would not have dreamt that it was expected of me like in today’s age that I must partake in deliveries (or at least be in the labour room) like my son-in-law who considered it a normal responsibility. But getting on in years while still not quite middle-aged, the full thrust of sharing in domestic responsibilities gradually crept in. No more meals served on the table or suggestions to the wife about what to cook. Come home from work and no hopes about a welcome on the lines of Tips To Look After Your Husband in the 1950 Home Eco book. Te Dis Gele (those days are gone) as the Konkani phrase says but at least the Sandwich Generation can dream, once knowing those languid times for males where the whole burden was on the women. Our children poor guys, have never had that luxury. Thankfully, what they don’t know won’t hurt ‘em.
