Sara Nardo on an essential part of localism - homemaking: How to be a Localist Anywhere. We do need to better promote and teach the domestic arts for both men and women, so that the household economy becomes a reality, even if only "partial." (And a means of getting out of the system.)
A woman shows her commitment to the well-being of her family and her devotion by using her natural "nesting" instinct, and this should not go unappreciated by men, even though men can survive, even flourish as bachelors living a more spartan lifestyle. A woman's homemaking may result in an environment obviously different from one inhabited by a single man, but that should signal her presence in her man's life.
