![Quote Sandwich Example: Top Bread: Jessica Grose argues that cleaning the home still falls unfairly on women’s shoulders in her article, "Cleaning: The Final Feminist Frontier." Grose notes, Filling: "At its most basic, a reason why a lot of men don’t want to clean is obvious: it’s not fun. The rewards of the other two traditionally female household tasks— childcare and cooking—are palpable. Your kid’s smile, a delicious meal. But not so with cleaning" ([if this source had a page number, it would go here]). Bottom Bread: Here, Grose connects the task with its level of reward, which is much lower than the other types of housework. This reason may be true: cleaning is not as fun or as rewarding, but it is not substantial enough to excuse men from doing their fair share of the housework.
