I am glad you took up that question about "female texts": I was quite keen to read this book until I started listening to that podcast interview, actually, and I found that really off-putting and the overall atmosphere of the conversation a bit (and this may sound uncharitable) unpleasantly portentous. The excerpts here confirm that impression for me: they make me want to say testy things like "it's just housecleaning, everyone does it, don't read so much into it!"
Loving housecleaning is so far outside my own experience that I'm kind of fascinated by it, like an anthropologist or something. If her voice doesn't win you over -- and I can see why it might not, even though it worked for me -- this book totally will not work!
