Two weeks ago, people across the world celebrated festivals honoring light, goodness, and purity. They lit lamps. They offered prayers and celebrated the ideals of wisdom, goodness, and strength.But there's a small irony here. We glorify the feminine divine in songs and stories, but step outside the walls of celebration, the picture changes dramatically. The same hands that fold in reverence too often fail to protect. And the same voices that sing praises choose to stay silent. And the same systems that pre ...

revolutionary women have fundamentally changed the world. 100 years ago, many thousands of young Irish women joined in radical organizations to fight for what the revolutionary Countress Marovich called the three great causes. the cause of women, the cause of labor, and the fight for Irish freedom.

Your job as a man is to protect your woman from the world, from her own stupid ideas and provide for her so other man can’t access her.It’s not actually your job to be nice to her, make her laugh or be her friend.Very much like a strict parent raises good kids.Strict men have good wives.If your woman won’t obey you? Skill issue.All that friend crap the ends badly for the man and the woman. ...

Main Argument - The prevailing idea of feminism as individual freedom is insufficient for addressing systemic inequalities, particularly the exhaustion gap and the exploitation of poor women and women of color [4][7][13][19][20] - A more effective approach to feminism focuses on dismantling hierarchies and advocating for policies that benefit the most vulnerable, drawing inspiration from movements like the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO) [25][29][30][31] Supporting Points - Mainstream feminism's emphasis on individual freedom overlooks the unequal distribution of labor, with women performing significantly more housework and care work than men [11][12][14] - The focus on individual choice can mask the exploitation of paid domestic workers, who are disproportionately women of color and often lack basic labor protections, earning a median wage of $13.56 per hour [21][22][23] - The NWRO's approach, rooted in revaluing care work and advocating for policies like a universal basic income, offers a more comprehensive vision for feminism that addresses systemic oppression [26][28] - A feminist movement focused on resisting hierarchy can inform broader issues like reproductive justice and cultural rootedness, particularly for women of color and indigenous women [32][33] Data & Statistics - In 1980, women estimated their husbands did 31% of the housework or childcare, and in 2000, they estimated 32% [11] - A 2020 study found women were 18% more burned out at work and do two more hours of housework a day [12] - Women whose jobs demand long hours are three times as likely to get heart disease, cancer, or diabetes [12] - Paid domestic workers are over half women of color, twice as likely to be born outside the United States, and three times as likely to be living below the poverty line [22]
