clitorcrit:

two things that can be true at the same time:

1) the labour involved in homemaking and childcare is important and undervalued. no one should be looked down upon for making housework and/or parenthood their primary job. domestic labour is generally not seen as “real” work, and it should be.

2) when a women is a homemaker and does not have a career outside the home, she is financially dependent on her husband, which restricts her freedom. this is a problem for any movement seeking to liberate women as a class.
