La razón, según la secretaria de la mujer de CCOO de Andalucía, Antonia Martos, es que este trabajo no está reconocido socialmente. “Siempre lo hemos hecho las mujeres de manera altruista”, afirma. Sin embargo, paradójicamente, gracias a estas trabajadoras, otras mujeres pueden acceder al mercado laboral. Y aquí Martos incide en lo que ella considera el problema de fondo: “En este país no está aún resuelta la conciliación laboral y familiar. Es evidente que se ha avanzado mucho, pero no puede ser a costa de otras mujeres, ya sean empleadas del hogar o familiares como las abuelas”. Isabel Otxoa cree que el debate hay que plantearlo de otra forma: “Es injusto e inexacto mencionar a las mujeres como si fueran las que se benefician del empleo doméstico. Las empleadas del hogar liberan de trabajo principalmente a los hombres”. ¿Qué pasaría si las mujeres se pusieran en huelga? La Administración tampoco responde esta pregunta, pero todas saben la respuesta.

A wise man does at once, what a fool does at last. Both do the same thing, only at different times, the first in season, and the second out. He who starts by putting on his understanding wrong side to, must continue in this style ever afterwards, wearing about his feet what he should have placed upon his head, making left of what is right, and so proceeding in everything he does; there is only one good way to bring him to account, and that is to make him do by compulsion what he should have done through desire; but the man of sense sees at once, what sooner or later, must be, and does it to his joy, and to his credit. - from The Art of Worldly Wisdom by Baltasar Gracián
