@annahavron Yes, absolutely. I completely agree.

@JMaxB Well, one of the big reasons they called for wages to be paid was that women were financially dependent on their husbands, not all of whom were reasonable people. If women aren’t financially independent we are vulnerable, but the contemporary “solution” that women should work paid jobs full-time and still do all the housework is obviously not ideal :) Honestly I think this is where something like a Universal Basic Income would be really helpful, even though that would require some scrupulously careful implementation too, or else everyone would just find themselves having to pay additional rent of 2x the UBI…
