Love how a bunch of wealthy spoiled Victorian women claiming women shouldn’t work somehow undid millennia of working-class and agrarian women working alongside the men and created this false argument we’ve got now about women never being allowed to work.

For the entirety of human history men and women have worked alongside each other. If women didn’t work, humanity would have died. Not until the industrial revolution did it become feasible for common women to not work and stay at home to be pampered. That was a sign of affluence.

The same way pale skin used to be a sign of wealth because she didn’t have to work in the sun, or fat wives in Italy as a sign her husband could afford good food.

Then we hit the Victorian age and created this expectation that ALL families should act just like aristocrats and ALL women should avoid work. Victorian women created the bulk of our problematic beliefs which feminists battle against now.

So this argument whether or not women should work is moot. Women have ALWAYS worked. Spoiled daughters of the Victorian age changed the expectation. Now it’s going back and overcompensating. Eventually it will balance again to WHAT KIND of work femininity does best.
