Bourgeois Feminism Is A Feminism That Demands Nothing Of Men

Did you know that as more married upper class and upper middle class women became employed during the 70s there was a dramatic uptick in demand for domestic labor?

They do not demand their husbands pick up the slack when they enter the workforce, instead building their “liberation” on the backs of working class women, usually working class WOC.

As well 19th century Bourgeois feminists were only horrified by working class sex workers because sex work was easier and paid better than being a scullery maid, thus making it harder and more expensive to get domestic labor. They set up caring courses (read: Training and recruitment courses for domestic laborers) and crusaded against sex workers to make sure their supply of domestic labor was unthreatened.

You’ll note bourgeois feminists never demonize or rail against domestic labor the way they rail against sexual labor. This is because they have no use for sex workers and all the use in the world for domestic workers.
