Why should housework in private homes be an exception to all other work?

Is it because some housewives say, in self justification and frequently
without an accurate knowledge of what it is to do housework week after
week without one day"s release, that housework is easier than other
work? Is it easier? Is it not sometimes harder? However, it is not a
question of housework being harder or easier than other work, but of the
desirability of having it limited to eight hours a day and six days a
week
