Yeah I hate takes that say because fake bullshit is something women are pressured into more than men, men are obligated to do fake bullshit out of solidarity Also relabeling fake bullshit as "emotional labor", a term that is therefore rapidly jumping the sharkhttps://twitter.com/della_morte_/status/1352691754605178885 …

I do think it's significant to recognize the interpersonal aspects of it, as well as the employment aspects, and the way that falls unequally. Still, it's easy to spin off on.

But it's especially bad in the form OP used it, where it's a diffuse, implicit social obligation and therefore there's no clear sense of who exactly Bernie is "withholding labor" from Like are you literally saying Joe Biden was somehow harmed by this photo

"Decorum" is probably the direct equivalent of "fake bullshit" here. And I mean, sometimes it's appropriate to DO the fake bullshit, it's just not the same as labor, emotional or otherwise.

Women in general in our society, regardless of job or position, are expected to be more emotionally available and "sympathetic". Is that emotional labor or interpersonal obligation?

It's a bad thing, I don't disagree about that I think trying to use the metaphor "labor" for it leads you to some weird unhelpful places
