Wow, it's almost like we live in a society made up of male-dominated power structures where women historically weren't able to work and consequentially are socialised into professions that don't make up the backbone of the workforce. :rolleyes:


Women have always worked. Urban working-class women worked when the family was so poor there was no other option. But in those days keeping the household straight was such a gruelling job that you had to have division of labour, and since most working-class jobs involved hauling massive hods of coal around and unloading cargo from ships it was obviously going to be the man who went out and did the work. Furthermore, due to the economic law of specialisation (I'm sure it has a proper name), it was uneconomical for both partners to do a bit of working and a bit of housework. When white goods were invented and the economy began to transition towards services neither work nor housework were so gruelling, allowing some time for taking it easy and thus introducing slack in the division of labour, so couples began to see the economic and quality-of-life advantage of having two wages coming into the household.
And this of course is why society ground to a halt when the wars happened, because women are lazy and offer nothing to society :lol:.

Contraception did wonders for gender equality, not even a lie. Before that, it was basically a choice between no sex or potentially having a lot of children to care for. Which I think anyone would agree is a job in itself (if it wasn't, people wouldn't have hired nannies).

Yes, feminists keep barking.
Reality is, majority - 90%~ of men, do all the physical and demanding jobs.
Keep hating, keep attempting to be superior.

And if there were no men then we would take over those jobs. If half of any population suddenly stopped working society would seriously struggle, regardless of which half.

It's shocking that this is actually a discussion. Both men and women are values members of our society.
