Women being allowed to work is hardly a centuries-old pattern.
edit: Given the comments and downvotes, perhaps it wasn't clear that I was speaking in the context of the article, which implies the ability to choose one's career. Women have "worked", but patriarchal society limited the work it would allow them to do. (and in most cases, essentially mandated they do certain types of work)
- dudul 3y agoSo a few hundreds years ago, women would just futss around while men would kill themselves taking care of the fields/cattle/etc? Women have always worked. People need to stop using the 1% as representative of the whole population in History.
- HideousKojima 3y agoYou're right, it's a millenia-old pattern at least. Women have been working for as long as we have recorded history, women not working is a modern luxury (technically it was an upper class luxury in premodern times).
- bdcravens 3y agoPerhaps it wasn't clear in my comment, but I'm talking about choosing the work and career of their own choosing, and getting paid (since the article was talking about what professions they pursue)
- ThrowawayTestr 3y agoBeing able to choose your career is a pretty recent thing for both sexes.
