I believe Arlie Hochschild, who coined the term ‘emotional labor’, recognized this disparity early on and used the term ‘emotional work’ as the alternative term. It has historically been true (esp of black women who rarely got to be ‘homemakers’) that women are expected to provide a disproportionate amount of care, aid, and physical labor at home as well as in the workplace, which is one of the primary topics of Angela Davis’s On Women, Race, and Class.

dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it’s a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we’ll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer
