greythistle on feminism, housework, and choices that aren't makes me wonder about the liberal arts & ambition-- there's no particular reason why an English or sociology degree should doom you to life as a secretary, but so many of my non-math friends seem to feel stuck between temping and grad school . . .

Being a mother is worthy; being a housekeeper is worthy; I'd never argue that they're not occupations deserving of compensation. But in actual practice, the only person who will compensate a woman for doing those jobs is her husband, and, well - sleeping with the boss is frowned upon for good reason. If the employer-employee relationship is as nasty and deadening as you suggest, why would you want to make it the paradigm for your marriage?
