Housework Is Different
Elegant, monocled Lucien Cazalis sees women working on the streets of Paris, and will not have it! Unlike most male chauvinist pigs, he doesn't merely decry what he sees as unfeminine, he steps in and does the work, and fouls it up.
I'm old enough to remember this attitude, and sometimes feel twinges of it myself; as I have remarked to my nieces, women shouldn't work, but perform light duties only, like scrubbing floors and giving birth to babies. I hope they realize I'm joking.
Émile Cohl, who directed this short comedy, is better remembered for his work in early animation. In this period, he directed many a live-action comedy. He was possibly the first animator to move in that direction. He would not be the last.
