How Same-Sex Parents Share the Mental Load

Haley Swenson was extensively cited and quoted in the New York Times about the mental load of running a household and how it differs for same-sex couples:

Studies have shown that same-sex couples aren’t necessarily guided by gendered ideas about who ought to do what. But, as many gay couples already know, that doesn’t mean gender is inconsequential. People in the L.G.B.T.Q. community have been subjected to many of the same gendered expectations as straight people, said Haley Swenson, the deputy director of the Better Life Lab at New America, a nonpartisan think tank.
