The Persil is the political. There are several steps to male enlightenment if he aims for equality of unpaid domestic labour. At first, he puts a wash on and expects a medal. When the medal doesn’t appear, he may give up. There again, if he has steel in his heart, he may try again. This time he puts a wash on and then takes the clothes out. He may even attempt to dry them. Still no medal. Finally, and this only took me five years, he may eventually put a wash on, dry the clothes, fold them up and put them away.
