The real theater of the sex war is the domestic hearth.

Summary

This quote suggests that the true battleground for gender politics and power struggles lies within the confines of the home. It implies that the dynamics of the sex war, or the battle between genders, are most prominently played out within domestic spaces. It highlights how issues related to gender equality, inequality, and power imbalances are not only present in larger social and political arenas, but also deeply rooted in the intimate spaces of family and relationships. The home, traditionally associated with notions of femininity and domesticity, becomes an arena where gender roles and expectations are perpetuated and challenged.

I suspect he's sweet on Sophie and doesn't like to see her work too hard.'Tessa was glad to hear it.
