“Contrary to myth, “The Feminine Mystique” and feminism did not represent the beginning of the decline of the stay-at-home mother, but a turning point that led to much stronger legal rights and “working conditions” for her.”
“Feminism has also fostered increased respect for men’s ability and desire to be involved parents. So we should also pay attention to expanding men’s ability to choose greater involvement in family life, just as we have expanded women’s ability to choose greater involvement in meaningful work.”
agreed. ‘women’s work’ or work that is perceived as feminine or being dominated by women is still not as valued in our society. just look at what’s going on with the national budget, institutions and programs that are woman-centered are some of the first things offered up for cutting.
i love you stephen colbert. hahaha.

i really like American Apparel’s clothing and their attempt to make them for decent wages in the U.S. if only they could just dump Dov Charney who’s clearly a creep and return to a marketing strategy that celebrates sexuality and diverse bodies rather than exploitation. i feel like the company used to do so at one point, but hey idk i could be wrong.
