Sadly, many American women grow up hearing this saying and feel it to be true.1 One such woman, author Jessica Grose, wrote “Cleaning: The Final Feminist Frontier,” published in 2013 in the New Republic,2 and she argues that while the men recently started taking on more of the childcare and cooking, cleaning still falls unfairly on women.3 Grose begins building her credibility with personal facts and reputable sources, citing convincing facts and statistics, and successfully employing emotional appeals; however, toward the end of the article, her attempts to appeal to readers’ emotions weaken her credibility and ultimately, her argument.4 In her article, Grose first sets the stage by describing a specific scenario of house-cleaning with her husband after being shut in during Hurricane Sandy, and then she outlines the uneven distribution of cleaning work in her marriage and draws a comparison to the larger feminist issue of Smith 2 who does the cleaning in a relationship. Grose continues by discussing some of the reasons that men do not contribute to cleaning: the praise for a clean house goes to the woman; advertising and media praise men’s cooking and childcare, but not cleaning; and lastly, it is just not fun. Possible solutions to the problem, Grose suggests, include making a chart of who does which chores, dividing up tasks based on skill and ability, accepting a dirtier home, and making cleaning more fun with gadgets.5 Throughout her piece, Grose uses many strong sources that strengthen her credibility and appeal to ethos, as well as build her argument.6 These sources include, “sociologists Judith Treas and Tsui-o Tai,” “a 2008 study from the University of New Hampshire,” and “P&G North America Fabric Care Brand Manager, Matthew Krehbiel” (qtd. in Grose).7 Citing these sources boosts Grose’s credibility by showing that she has done her homework and has provided facts and statistics, as well as expert opinions to support her claim. She also uses personal examples from her own home life to introduce and support the issue, which shows that she has a personal stake in and first-hand experience with the problem.8 Adding to her ethos appeals, Grose uses strong appeals to logos, with many facts and statistics and logical progressions of ideas.9 She points out facts about her marriage and the distribution of household chores. An Smith 3 example can be seen when she says: “My husband and I both work. We split midnight baby feedings …but … he will admit that he’s never cleaned the bathroom, that I do the dishes nine times out of ten, and that he barely knows how the washer and dryer work in the apartment we’ve lived in for over eight months.”10 These facts introduce and support the idea that Grose does more household chores than her husband. Grose continues with many other statistics: “About 55 percent of American mothers employed full time do some housework on an average day, while only 18 percent of employed fathers do. … [W]orking women with children are still doing a week and a half more of “second shift” work each year than their male partners. … Even in the famously gender-neutral Sweden, women do 45 minutes more housework a day than their male partners.”11 These statistics are a few of many that logically support her claim that it is a substantial and real problem that men do not do their fair share of the chores. The details and numbers build an appeal to logos and impress upon the reader that this is a problem worth discussing.12 Along with strong logos appeals, Grose effectively makes appeals to pathos or the reader’s emotion.13 Her introduction is full of emotionally-charged words and phrases that encourage sympathy. Grose Smith 4 notes that she “was eight months pregnant” and her husband found it difficult to “fight with a massively pregnant person.”14 The image she evokes of the challenges and vulnerabilities of being so pregnant, as well as the high emotions a woman feels at that time, effectively introduce the argument and its seriousness. Her goal is to make the reader feel sympathy for her. Adding to this idea are words and phrases such as, “insisted,” “argued,” “not fun,” “sucks,” “headachey,” “be judged,” and “be shunned” (Grose). All of these words evoke negative emotions about cleaning, which makes the reader sympathize with women who feel “judged” and shunned”—very negative feelings. Another feeling Grose reinforces with her word choice is the concept of fairness: “fair share,” “more housework,” and “more gendered and less frequent.” These words help establish the unfairness that exists when women do all of the cleaning, and they are an appeal to pathos, or the readers’ feelings of frustration and anger with injustice.15 Lastly, Grose’s use of a stern tone throughout, as well as the use of various bold metaphors and idioms to help the reader equate the weight of a woman having to do everything around the house in comparison to a man help her article hit a home run.16 At one point she says, “They say don’t bite the hand that feeds you; but, what do you do when the hand that feeds you is the same hand that inadvertently leads you to the slaughter, too?”17 She takes this well known idiom about being grateful for the one that provides for you Smith 5 and adds the layer that oftentimes we ignore the harm that that same hand can cause because it demands the impossible as a recompensation of sorts. Her very stern and matter of fact tone from start to finish urge the reader to understand the seriousness of the issue.18 Grose begins the essay by effectively persuading her readers of the unfair distribution of home-maintenance cleaning labor, and continues to build her case by including personal examples from her own marriage, as well as documented statistics to assert her argument that men do not do enough around the house in comparison to women. Her ability to touch the hearts of readers with her experiences being pregnant and still being expected to do everything around the house fosters sympathy from her audience and essentially drives home her argument. Her goal to effectively appeal to both men and women was indeed achieved. 19 Smith 6 Works Cited Grose, Jessica. “Cleaning: The Final Feminist Frontier.” New Republic. The New Republic, 19 Mar. 2013.

Grose Smith 4 notes that she “was eight months pregnant” and her husband found it difficult to “fight with a massively pregnant person.”14 The image she evokes of the challenges and vulnerabilities of being so pregnant, as well as the high emotions a woman feels at that time, effectively introduce the argument and its seriousness. Her goal is to make the reader feel sympathy for her. Adding to this idea are words and phrases such as, “insisted,” “argued,” “not fun,” “sucks,” “headachey,” “be judged,” and “be shunned” (Grose). All of these words evoke negative emotions about cleaning, which makes the reader sympathize with women who feel “judged” and shunned”—very negative feelings. Another feeling Grose reinforces with her word choice is the concept of fairness: “fair share,” “more housework,” and “more gendered and less frequent.” These words help establish the unfairness that exists when women do all of the cleaning, and they are an appeal to pathos, or the readers’ feelings of frustration and anger with injustice.15 Lastly, Grose’s use of a stern tone throughout, as well as the use of various bold metaphors and idioms to help the reader equate the weight of a woman having to do everything around the house in comparison to a man help her article hit a home run.16 At one point she says, “They say don’t bite the hand that feeds you; but, what do you do when the hand that feeds you is the same hand that inadvertently leads you to the slaughter, too?”17 She takes this well known idiom about being grateful for the one that provides for you Smith 5 and adds the layer that oftentimes we ignore the harm that that same hand can cause because it demands the impossible as a recompensation of sorts. Her very stern and matter of fact tone from start to finish urge the reader to understand the seriousness of the issue.18 Grose begins the essay by effectively persuading her readers of the unfair distribution of home-maintenance cleaning labor, and continues to build her case by including personal examples from her own marriage, as well as documented statistics to assert her argument that men do not do enough around the house in comparison to women. Her ability to touch the hearts of readers with her experiences being pregnant and still being expected to do everything around the house fosters sympathy from her audience and essentially drives home her argument. Her goal to effectively appeal to both men and women was indeed achieved. 19 Smith 6 Works Cited Grose, Jessica. “Cleaning: The Final Feminist Frontier.” New Republic. The New Republic, 19 Mar. 2013.
