Super relevant to my situation rn

Based on this (x). Conclusion: they’re still fuckers.

Or maybe daddy works all week to provide us money for food and clothes

[sundyke]

Because daddy’s labour is arbitrarily placed at a higher value and the work he does all week is no more important or legitimate than domestic labour. The capital value of the same relative labour is dependent on the gender of the person its performed by, and the capital values of different, specific kinds of labour, are dependent on the gender of the person who usually performs them in a society. The work easily available to women is priced cheap or free, and the work women have to struggle harder to get is still worth less capital than that same work when performed by men. 

In short, daddy gets to choose what he gets to work on, and the job he gets to choose can easily generate more than enough money to feed and shelter more than one person.  In this scenario, women still have to do work, but are often forced to depend on others to support them, let alone able to consider supporting others with their labour. 

In some cases, men might actually prefer their wives to do even less in terms of domestic labour, because it will be a symbol of conspicuous leisure, which is the mark of status. Women doing no work at all only happens if daddy has so much money and power that he wants to show it to people by how he can support a family with even less work on their part.

A society directing women to be dependent on men, who like their women that way, is definitively a patriarchy, and the division of labour between men and women continues to reinforce gender inequality even today. 

Hopefully you can see more of the repercussions of EXACTLY WHAT WAS IMPLIED IN THE ORIGINAL POST now.

oh, please, please, please read this commentary because this person was kind enough to give y'all a free lesson on gender roles WRT  domestic work/work in a capitalist society since we, in America, live in a masculine society in terms of work and values.

what is my obsession with coffee and books?

it should be a law that if it’s raining and you wake up feeling comfy in bed you shouldn’t have to answer to any of your obligations

Actually, life is beautiful and I have time

[med-anth]

I thought university would be the most stressfull thing I’d complete, I was wrong. New definition of hard: two part time research jobs with stressed teams and real world deadlines. :O

Second Bachelors Degree

Hey studyblr community!

Anyone here doing a second bachelors? Let’s connect!! Lots of people think I’m crazy for doing it, so I’d love to have a small community of likeminded people.

Lots of love xx

Just dropping by to say it’s been one day and I am head over heels in love with this pen and will never write with anything else again if I can help it

the little progress you have made today still matters.

[wnq-writers]

You’ll meet a hundred different people who will describe you in a hundred different ways, don’t dwell too much on the kind of impression you make. Remember, there are a thousand paintings of the sun, but only one that rises and sets each day.
