This is most certainly a dream, because in reality women's rights and feminist movements are in part about getting women actually paid for the labor they perform.

The idea that capitalism subverted feminism in the pursuit of cheap labour is shared by some feminists, and isn't necessarily inherently antifeminist.
- king_jester 13y agoI've not heard this before, from what I've seen and read feminism has been partly about the exploitation of women's labor, an exploitation that has occurred for a long, long time. That women's labor isn't paid for or is underpaid is a long standing issue.
