Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Sparisce in bagno per ore con la scusa della cacca con lo smartphone in mano? È una strategia”: la rivelazione shock di un’esperta di divorzi
Una scrittrice esperta di divorzi è finita al centro di una bufera social dopo aver lanciato una teoria decisamente particolare: gli uomini userebbero il bagno come vera e propria arma strategica per sottrarsi agli impegni familiari.
Olivia Howell, autrice del libro “Divorce Happens”, ha pubblicato a metà settembre un post che ha fatto il giro dei social. Secondo la sua tesi, nel momento in cui un marito torna a casa e si chiude in bagno, smette temporaneamente di essere un membro attivo della famiglia per trasformarsi in una sorta di “cittadino privato” e irraggiungibile.
Il punto centrale del suo ragionamento riguarda l’impossibilità di contestare questa scelta: mentre si può chiedere a qualcuno di uscire dal garage, spegnere la playstation o togliersi le cuffie, nessuno può ragionevolmente impedire a un’altra persona di andare in bagno. Per l’autrice, la frase “devo andare in bagno” sarebbe quindi uno degli alibi più potenti a disposizione di chi vive in famiglia.
A peggiorare la situazione, secondo Howell, ci ha pensato lo smartphone. Una volta chiusa la porta, il marito potrebbe teoricamente dedicarsi a qualsiasi cosa, dai social ai video di YouTube, dalle partite di borsa alle discussioni sportive, nascondendosi dietroil bagno come rifugio domestico perfetto.
Il pezzo ha scatenato reazioni furiose e ironiche in egual misura. Su X c’è chi ha accusato l’autrice di voler negare agli uomini persino il diritto ai bisogni fisiologici, e chi ha ironizzato sulla nascita di un nuovo “strumento del patriarcato”. Non sono mancate le battute più irriverenti, con utenti che si sono paragonati a soldati armati di tacos e determinazione, o che hanno ironicamente messo in guardia dal rischio di emorroidi per chi esagera con le “sedute strategiche”.
L'articolo “Sparisce in bagno per ore con la scusa della cacca con lo smartphone in mano? È una strategia”: la rivelazione shock di un’esperta di divorzi proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.
He disappears into the bathroom for hours with the excuse of having a bowel movement while holding his smartphone? It's a strategy: the shocking revelation of an expert on divorce.
A divorce expert has been at the center of a social storm after launching a decidedly unusual theory: men would use the bathroom as a strategic weapon to avoid family commitments.
Olivia Howell, author of the book “Divorce Happens,” published a post in mid-September that went viral on social media. According to her thesis, when a husband returns home and locks himself in the bathroom, he temporarily stops being an active member of the family and transforms into a sort of “private citizen” and unreachable person.
The central point of her reasoning is the impossibility of challenging this choice: while one can ask someone to leave the garage, turn off the Playstation or take off their headphones, no one can reasonably prevent another person from going to the bathroom. For the author, the phrase “I need to go to the bathroom” would therefore be one of the most powerful alibis available to those living in a family.
To worsen the situation, according to Howell, it was the smartphone that made things worse. Once the door is closed, the husband could theoretically do anything, from social media to YouTube videos, from stock market games to sporting debates, hiding behind the bathroom as a perfect domestic refuge.
The piece sparked furious and equally ironic reactions. On X, some accused the author of wanting to deny men even the right to bodily needs, while others joked about the birth of a new “tool of patriarchy.” There were also the most irreverent jokes, with users comparing themselves to soldiers armed with tacos and determination, or ironically warning of the risk of hemorrhoids for those who overdo the "strategic sessions."
