I found this article silly in some parts, yet very intelligent in others. In regards to some of Frederick's comments, they seemed somewhat trivial and self absorbed, particularly when referring to other classes. However, Mr. Watson did raise a valid point in addressing the complaints of some women about not having free time. His idea's would most certainly reduce the time taken to do tasks and would allow for more free time for women. In response to Lon and Aislyn, I would point out that the husbands of many of these women worked in factories, where they had one task and one task only that they performed for ten hours or more a day. At least some of these women could have different tasks to do and if they were able to finish them quickly enough, have free time to pursue their own interests. -Brian Brown | I found this article silly in some parts, yet very intelligent in others.
