    There are a few theories mentioned as to why this is happening, but not this one: throwing dinner parties takes time, and women‘s participation in the workforce has grown steadily.

    There are less women with free time on their hands and the need to mingle with people they wouldn’t otherwise encounter, because they’re at home most of the time.

      I am surprised i had to scroll this far to see the whole thing was powered by women’s unpaid labor.

        I‘m sure they were aching under the pressure of organizing cocktail dinner parties that their evil husbands forced them to host.
