This has gone terribly well, naturally.
It is rather ironic you two looking for some word to take offence over, like the wokes do.

I mean, you wouldn't claim that burden in the following sentence was pejorative:

"At free parties, the burden of lugging the speakers and amp racks up the stairs fell on those who didn't have the musical talent to DJ."

A burden can just be a responsibility. Personally, I don't find anything controversial in the claim "women more likely to be responsible for provision of unpaid child care."

But then, I'm not the sort of fückwit who goes out of his way to take offence at perfectly normal terms simply to signal which side of the culture war I'm on, so what would I know, eh?
