0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Jan Black. Laura Owens is off today. You know, we often hear about gender
0:16.2	inequality in terms of the pay gap between men and women and other issues related to the workplace.
0:22.5	On this episode, though, we'll take a look at gender inequality at home.
0:27.0	Joining us is gender expert and professional facilitator Kate Mangino, who is the author of
