I think this post was made in bad faith to the argument of the poster. Money and therefore power matter a lot in a society in which you must purchase almost all of your basic goods with it. housing, food, water, etc. Up to a certain point money does track with quality of life, and the point in which it ceases to be the case is well above median wealth. If we were to evaluate that it is normal for women to have less paying jobs because women’s work is worth less pay, then the knock off effect is that women aren’t worth a quality of life equal to men on average.
Also, I am under the impression that rolling ones eyes at a choice to stay at home is a continued devaluation of women’s work. The upkeep of a living location and the caring of any little humans is a significant labor, such that upon outsourcing is often equivalent to a median yearly salary of a single person. However because there isn’t a common framework to evaluate worth beyond money in the society I live in, unpaid labor isn’t valued.
