This idea, as the blurb before Conger-Koneko's part noted, is still "squarely on the feminist agenda," (81) although these days it's discussed more in terms of GNP and economic value of wages for housework, raising children, etc. Although the all caps got very annoying and Conger-Koneko's rhetoric and tactless word choice ("ignorance and stupidity" 84) probably alienated more people than it convinced, she presents a good point that deserved and continues to deserve discourse and action. --Sarah Smethurst | This idea, as the blurb before Conger-Koneko's part noted, is still "squarely on the feminist agenda," (81) although these days it's discussed more in terms of GNP and economic value of wages for housework, raising children, etc. Although the all caps got very annoying and Conger-Koneko's rhetoric and tactless word choice ("ignorance and stupidity" 84) probably alienated more people than it convinced, she presents a good point that deserved and continues to deserve discourse and action. --Sarah Smethurst | ||

| + | Conger-Koneko is one passionate woman, with a very interesting arguement. Interesting in it's truth - with his wife taking care of his every need, a man could work better and more efficiently. However, with a wife, he had another body to feed and clothe and care for, so a pay increase should be in order. However, was it the common practice for men to live at home before getting married or did they strike out on their own? In that case, should a bachelor recieve a lower wage than a man being cared for by his mother? -- kokeefe | ||
