Such a critical topic. I wonder if a question is also: do men care about or value these things that are assigned to caregivers?

If no one did the womens work: would they care?

Criticsl topic❤️‍🩹 What would they do if we didn’t do it?

Like the topic - its complex to answer.

Maybe engaging men about the topic in a different way? (Not 100% sure how that would look).

I had a conversation with a man online-he insisted his work was worth $42 because he endured hard pshycial conditions, but refused to see he was being abused by the system.

If hard physical labor is a measure of worth, what is childbirth worth?

Men are feeling abused too. Yet help perpetuate the problem, perpetuate a system that enslaves us all. This happens under other political and economic systems too.

I think we have to find a better vision for all of us to move into. It feels like we are pitted against each other by the same forces that benefit from our labor.

We definitely need a vision for all of us where physical labor and care work are all valued with dignity and respect. So together we have a better future to look forward to.
