IF1: The Cult of Domesticity is a 19th-century Western value system among the upper and middle classes that framed women as morally superior, nurturing guardians of home and virtue. The idea revolved around the woman being the center of the family; she was considered "the light of the home", and thus “true women” succeed in the maintenance of the household, production of food, and childrearing.

Assuming the technology was safe and feasible, This house supports a wide-spread adoption of the severance technology
Infoslide

Severance is a painless medical process that allows employees to separate their work-related memories from their personal memories. This is achieved through a cognitive process that selectively 'splits' memories, so that memories created during work hours are not accessible outside of work, and vice versa. The work day ends in a second for your out-of-work self, while your working self lives their whole lives within the office and has no knowledge of the outside world. The process is voluntary and reversible with consent from both the "work-self" and "non-work-self" of an employee.
