Pregnancy is a risk that is ignored by op. The risks associated with hormonal birth control are also ignored. The fuckwit above is assuming birth control because they live in a modern western context, they ignore the fact that birth control is a privilege. A casual encounter has aways been a massive risk for women.

Are you aware that pregnancy exists?

Thanks for the book recommendation! I will enjoy reading it.

You seem to define work as holding a paid job outside of the home. I disagree with that definition.

You’re not responding to my comment, just throwing in your extremely simplistic agenda. Your suburban american 50’s dream was a blip in time and space that is meaningless to most people.

Edited to add: The labor force participation rate for women in the US in 1955 was 34.5%. Women even worked in the 50’s. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS11300002

Cooking, cleaning and tending the family farm are all examples of work. As are making, washing and mending clothes. Teaching, nursing, bookkeeping, sex work and running a large household (or working in one) are also jobs. Helping to run the family business, whether a farm, a bakery, a church or a blacksmith, is working. Women did not just sit around embroidering things, and those who did sold their embroidery for money. You should also realise that all the men going to the office/factory every day is a recent development. My grandmothers both held gainful employment before world war 2.

I’m right there with you. Women have always worked and the 50’s housewife in the US is a historical blip that women fought to escape.

The astronomical mathematical models that we call chatbots are awesome and i don’t use them for anything. They have inspired me to sporadically try to relearn my linear algebra but university was too many beers ago and i’m stupid now.

Why don’t Canadians come from Canadia? I think about this too often.

Octopus skin. Neat.
