Another little devil sneaked on my shoulder and suggested to me that the actual meaning of the phrase "women's work" is not that there is inferior work only good enough for women, but that there is work for which men are, in a kind of stupidly, no better suited to do than little children... as I fumble to arrange glassware in something that resembles pleasing.

It is precisely “values” that are the powerless and threadbare mask of the objectification of beings, an objectification that has become flat and devoid of background. No one dies for mere values.
~Martin Heidegger

Why do you consider entertaining this thought "a little devil?"

It is not permitted to me to express that thought publicly.
