You suspected wrong, as I was using "scrubbing" as a metaphor for household work in general.
No kidding. But I suggest that in a society not yet capable of making scrubbing brushes, there probably isn't much housework going on.
As is the widespread availability of alcohol and other chemicals, which I suspect is a more important factor in the conduct of life.

Alcohol was discovered very early on in the civilisation game. I doubt that women of the Stone Age had much in common with the ladies of Wisteria Lane...
If by "we" you mean "we women who read hacker news", sure. I'm looking at the aggregate. It's not a men vs. women thing, as men are also not driven to abuse by "mundanity" or other silly things.
Now you're just trolling. Or perhaps you have some evidence to justify such a ridiculous statement?
