[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never really understood this argument, and I'm a woman. Is the implication that we should get a salary for these things? There are certain tasks that are just about keeping your life up and running. Moreover, who would pay us for, say, doing the dishes or the laundry? [/quote] I don’t think the argument is that women should get paid, just that there is this sense, particularly in undeveloped countries, that women aren’t contributing to the economy. And the reason for that is because so much of this work is unpaid. Once you “pay” women for their work, even in a theoretical sense, you get a much better picture of how much they are contributing.
