James sent me this disconcerting image: a New Orleans business that contracts out personal-assistant work, with a clever, sexist marketing twist: the assistants are called "wives".
Image and excellent commentary here: The Occasional Wife. This must be a great site, because the comments won't make your head explode.
I'm sure many of you are familiar with the classic feminist essay, "Why I Need A Wife," often misattributed to Gloria Steinem, but actually written by Jane Schlosser. You can read it here.

I hate that sexist, patriarchal housemaking / housewifery cult...! Yep, it's really a sexist ad. Most definitely - ugh!!!
