marksutherland reviewed Fair Play by Eve Rodsky
Review of 'Fair Play' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Eve has created a game to help manage responsibilities between partners, with a particular eye on couples with children where much of the burden is placed on a woman. She's applied a very corporate American approach of using a CPE (concept, planning, execution) model to assign the entirety of a responsibility to one partner at a time, and is focused on achieving a "fair" distribution of labour (as opposed to "equal") between each couple.
The overall framing feels very suburban America but she makes it clear that the deck of cards should be tailored to your family's needs. A valiant effort that's worth thinking seriously about, not sure if it's one will be putting into practice soon though.
For a deeper read on the current state of equality in marriage, All The Rage by Darcy Lockman is a better recommendation.
