Emotional labor is nearly always shouldered by women, whether in families or in service jobs. It is the smile women are expected to wear in the face of obnoxious customers. It is the admonishment to “be a good sport” while being the object of malicious humor. It is the role of smoothing over family conflicts. It is putting up with abuse in the interest of the appearance of family harmony. It is the labor women are expected to perform, because men are not socialized to carry any part of this burden.

“The Earth doesn’t need to be saved. It needs to be remembered. We forgot we are part of her body—not visitors, but organs of a larger being.” –Lou Bell

“Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas. Defeat may prove to have been the only path to resurrection, despite its ugliness. I take it for granted that to create a tree I condemn a seed to rot. If the first act of resistance comes too late it is doomed to defeat. But it is, nevertheless, the awakening of resistance. Life may grow from it as from a seed.” –Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
