Fuck anyone who boils the massive achievements of 20th-century US American feminism down to “forcing women to work.” If you’d prefer that everything about your life was subject to the whims of some random man you married at 20 then be my guest and pursue that. But personally I value my own intellect and autonomy. And I think anyone who presents full-time domestic labor as some kind of luxury for women has an agenda that’s completely incompatible with my human rights.
