On Organised Women

Are women inherently good at organising things? And if so, is it because historically, small scale organisation has been a way for us to reclaim control in a world in which we had little?

We organised homes, chores, schedules, kids – subordinate, scraggily things.

Did we do it because we had to or because it made us feel powerful?

Is it why girls made up my school year book committee? Why there are more women secretaries, more women PA’s? More women on Netflix cleaning shows? More women tidying away.

Have men only become less organised when women started organising them? Was that some sort of evolutionary trade? Did we do it to weaken men, to make them dependent? A sort of power play?

I wonder if this preference for organisation is natural? Or is it only perceived?

Is it instead dis-order? I order clarity to me.
