A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

You should look up the feminist definition of labor. It includes everything you're talking about and draws a line between public and private labor. Labor =/= work.
why does feminism have its own definition of labor?
i get that women have unique challenges in the workforce but this seems like it should be a universal
It's not about a women's labor it's about everyone, it's just a feminist concept. It's about acknowledging that house work, paid work, unpaid work, are all work. They're all forms of labor. Taking care of a house, kids, aging parents, disabled people are forms of private labor, which feminism goes on to say as a society we value less than public forms of labor. Public forms of labor are jobs. Now I'd rather not discuss the value of private vs. public labor in this forum. Even though this is Lemmy there are still a ton of misogynists here.
My point being that forms of labor aren't as simple as voluntary and involuntary. There are many forms of labor. Most of which I agree with you are involuntary. It's just like every a much more nuanced concept. Which sucks, cause why can't everything be simple?!
