@annahavron You’re so right about the management of a household being such a productive activity. About a decade ago I read the stat that the “value” of unpaid labour done by a stay-at-home spouse could be valued at $250,000 per annum… not that I think the worth of human activity is actually defined by how much someone might be willing to pay for it, but it shows that even within the logic of capitalism itself, domestic labour is valuable. I think the reason we’re told to feel inadequate if that’s what we spend our time doing is that it’s better yet for capitalism if we work for the capitalists and pull a second shift doing domestic labour for free. So they try to gaslight us into thinking that this second shift is nothing 🙃 @restlesslens @tracydurnell
