Not at all. Caring has traditionally been woman pursuits. And you can underpay cause they care.
There's a ton of academic studies under the terms of "emotional labor". Retail is emotional labor. Nursing. Education, childcare, health care, social work, hospitality, media, advocacy, aviation.
And those jobs pay trash precisely because people (read: women) care. So they're exploitable.
The jobs that you exploit others and forced not to care pay the most.
- yoyohello13 3mo agoNot sure why you said 'Not at all'. Your comment seems to corroborate exactly what I said. People who don't care are specifically rewarded more than people who do and it's by design.
- nekusar 3mo agoIts not at all wild. The capitalists set the system up. Capitalism exploits by its nature. So finding people who are more easily exploitable makes a great deal of capitalist sense. That's how and why this shit was set up.
- yoyohello13 3mo agoAh, ok I see. Your correcting the fact that I think it's wild when it actually shouldn't be surprising. I understand now.
