The Authors Describe the Women in This Study as Engaging

The authors describe the women in this study as engaging in "pragmatic egalitarianism." What does this term mean?

A) The families in this study, for the most part, sat down together after the husband was laid off and created a new list of household duties that was more equally shared than when both husband and wife were working.
B) The families in this study were more practical about who would do which jobs, with men taking care of the lawn and fixing the plumbing, and women doing the cooking and shopping.
C) The families in this study recognized that women would have to join the work force full-time, but that they were still expected to do traditional women's work around the house.
D) The families in this study did not change their household division of labor after the husband was laid off. In fact, nothing changed.
