I wasn't insulted as I find the domestic aspect of my job as full-time parent to really be drudgery and get no joy from it. Note: Housewife is an antiquated word which repulses me.<br /><br />"Why should working in an office to help some corporation make a profit be more worthy of a woman than working to raise her own children?

You don't see men looking after their offspring in any primitive aboriginal culture, but you do see a division of labour between the sexes very much like the idea of the nuclear family in the UK, viz., the men hunt, police and protect their society by force of arms and the women cook, clean, labour, do skilled jobs (like weaving) and mother their young.<br /><br />All this nonsense about "career women" and "house husbands" etc., is a modern nonsense that has grown up in idle western societies where large numbers of individuals pool their wealth and talents for the common good. Surely nobody could seriously deny that our own society would be improved significantly if we went back to basics and redefined the roles naturally assumed by men and women according to evolutionary and natural ordinance.Huxleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-32908456064296442542010-01-18T11:11:08.602+00:002010-01-18T11:11:08.602+00:00Some of the comments on this have been peculiarly ...Some of the comments on this have been peculiarly instructive -- particularly those which adopt a vaguely detached, amused tone while informing everyone that 'controversy sells!' That argument probably needs to be put to one side -- its an arguable point, since controversy garners attention but it's far from conclusive that it *sells* things -- and instead we should look at the assumptions that underlie it. To me it seems that one can only arrive at that conclusion by first believing that efficacy in selling and quantity of exposure are always unassailably good things; to believe that, one has to believe that the arbiter of what is ethical is what is profitable.<br /><br />In other words, what is unquestionably misogynist here is also rolled up in the theoretical structure of late capitalism -- harmful discourse is inconsequential because it *sells things*; selling things is awesome, because that makes money happen, and profit makes us all happy. What's depressing here is that it conceives of the public sphere as simply a marketplace in which people exist only as vectors of economic transfer, to be directed as desired. Or, more simply, the notion of a public good is subsumed into private profit.<br /><br />This is, of course, another argument for the shooting of marketing executives on sight.jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00269353194686537572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-31981485780339655332010-01-17T22:00:37.327+00:002010-01-17T22:00:37.327+00:00"I think the main reason for this campaign is..."I think the main reason for this campaign is that Beta agency are relatively new and used this to gain a higher profile for themselves."<br /><br />And it worked.

It was bad enough when I thought it was just an advert for a discussion website, but an ad to sell ad space? That's exploitative, demeaning, and a whole lot of other things that I can't find the words for right now.

In 1737 life in Britain was overwhelmingly rural. Female employment was overwhelmingly a) on farms b) in laundries c) in taverns d) as domestic servants to the rich.<br /><br />I think few people would now accept "outside the home" as meaning "round the back of the house, engaged in the farming family business" yet plainly you must have meant something very like this.<br /><br />You should explain.Tea Baghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712021616110540919noreply@blogger.com
