I was watching TV and saw the Electrolux Washer and Dryer commercial with Kelly Ripa in it. In the commercial, she is able to wash and dry laundary, put it away, feed the dog and bake cookies for her children, all in a superwoman kind of way.
This commercial is basically saying that it is the woman's duty to take care of these household chores. I don't think it would have been the same if there had have been a man in Kelly's place in the commercial. People would have been wondering why a man was doing all these tasks and not the wife. Although the goal of the commercial is to try and sell a product, it sends the message that in our society, it is normal for the woman to take care of the laundary and other household tasks.
