True
Seriously WTF is wrong with people?
@faab64 I'm afraid you misunderstood. So here's another way to put it, voluntarily over explicit: "guys, women have always been doing a lot of work, all kinds of work, without getting paid, and for centuries the only work they were getting (poorly) paid for was sex work (and I'm not talking about reproductive work). So don't even try to say "what about prostitution", it was urgent that at last they get paid for their work, and there's still much to do in this regard".
@faab64 and we still don’t get paid for most of the work we do

@magpieluvseeds
Sadly true

Many women actually get punished by "the market" when they choose a different path than the "norm".

I remember my American co-workers making fun of my friend in Sweden who took a year off work to be at home with their special need daughter, while his wife stayed at work.
The other way would have been perfectly normal, and set back the woman's carrier.
Coming from Iran, I can't understand that so many men in 21st century live by the mindset of cavemen.

@faab64 Women always worked but the expectation that they would also have to take on a "job" without actually getting paid for housework and still suffering the household labour imbalance is a scam! I say that as a working-class man that unconsciously benefitted from the unpaid household labour of women who all had jobs outside the house, throughout my childhood and early adulthood. Division of labour is still totally exploitative & leads to bad household dynamics - feminsim befits everyone.

@faab64

I can’t believe there’re women in 2026 willing to enslave themselves through dependence.

What happens when he decides that he is into someone else and leaves them with no money and no work experience to fall back on?

@faab64
I wonder if Miia learned a lesson, or just refused correction.
@AutumnBaum
Those people don't learn. They hide and block.
@faab64 and have access to the professions, academia and other jobs that were reserved for men.
@faab64 jokes on them they still do most of the unpaid care work. West German kindergartens and increasingly east German (former socialist big on woman equality) don't have opening hours long enough to look after children while working
@faab64
Women fought to be compensated for their labor and for the right to not be subservient to men.
@faab64
Or another way to look at it would be women fought to work in an official capacity rather than just doing unpaid domestic labor.

@faab64 mh. I'm not sure. women got paid job in addition to their unpaid work as an independancy (from their husband) demand.

But "workforce reproduction" tasks are still unpaid, yet still mostly done by women. And now, they must have them done after an underpaid job shift.
