    ‘Were forced to work’

    VS

    ‘Were permitted to work’

    I’m not sure what went wrong with your brain to not be able to distinguish between these two. You’re responding to someone who said the first version. You clapped back with serious attitude about the second version.

    They’re not the same though.

      Yes I am aware that this person used slanted and incorrect language. That’s sort of my entire point.

      You’ll forgive me for not taking someone, who wants the gold standard and traditionalist housewives back, very seriously.

        You funny. I never mentioned the gold standard or ‘traditional’ roles. If you’re going to put words in my mouth, I’d like them with an order of nachos and a fruit punch.
