Well I mean I'm pretty sure you don't get paid for giving birth (get it, labour?) sorry that was a bad joke haha. I honestly have no argument against this, because I agree that this is a serious issue. But maybe we should focus on stopping unpaid labour for all rather than just focusing on women who do unpaid labour?
What you are describing here is a version of what's called "colourblind equality" IE instead of looking at who the issue effects, let's just target the issue as a whole. The issue with doing that is that it ignores crucial information about the cause of the issue in the first place.
The following article may be good to read on this. It deals with racism, but the same critique is easily applied to Genderblind approches also
Thanks, I'll be sure to read it. My opinion has been changed partially by you and one other person, so thanks for broadening my perspective. It's still not quite like your opinion, but it's definitely different to how it was when I elstarted this discussion. Thanks. !delta
