  • I think for conversations like this its important to talk about what words like job, work and labor mean for each of us.

    I would prefer not having a job. A job to me is a when sell my time to someone and perform tasks they give me. I dont like that.

    I would prefer not having to work. To me working means performing at a job.

    I want to do labor, but preferably in a way that benefits my community, the world and me. I want to do labor based on my abilitiy and I want it to be organized by me and my peers. I also want to witness the direct impact of doing my labor instead of abstract things like “company profits go up”.

    Other people use the words job, work an labor differently. That is okay, but it can lead to misunderstandings.




  • Hey just wondering why you are asking for citations without providing any of your own? Because besides your own opinions and experiences you dont seem to provide any citations to back up your statements.

    And just so you know, you can try to find citations for claims made in the comic on you own. Or do you want to do some Executive Function Theft and let someone else do the work?

    Edit: Instead of reading that long ass response I looked for scientific stuff myself and found this in a short amount of time:

    Mental Labor: A Systematic Literature Review on the Cognitive Dimension of Unpaid Work Within the Household and Childcare

    Predominantly, the articles show that women perform the larger proportion of mental labor, especially when it comes to childcare and parenting decisions.
