Congratulations on this cool new job! What is antinomianism?
About that cartoon: I saw it in the New Yorker a few days ago and loved it, particularly the way the cartoonist drew that posture that you have to assume when loading and unloading a dishwasher. Why didn't the inventors of dishwashers think about how awkward that is?
How would the meaning of the cartoon change if a woman was unloading the dishwasher? I think it would change a lot. Because it's just assumed that women will accept the invisible labor of housework, and not seek "transcendence," as Simone de Beauvoir put it in "The Second Sex." The cartoon would become more subversive and less funny.
