Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

I'm thinking more in terms of implementation. I can't imagine a world in which accurately tracking domestic labour would be possible, or desirable. And you can see how giving women more money for domestic labour just because they're "supposed" to do more is very flawed at the individual level, even if seems logically sound at the demographic scale. Honestly it's been years since I gave this much thought. I know making payments to the women in households works better in LEDCs with very strict gender roles.
I don’t think the payment needs to be gendered or even tracked closely but if you’re worried about a lack of means testing you could go full clintonite demon mode, scale it against household size and distribute it as a tax credit.
E: you could also do the Industrial Revolution for housework and provide community laundry service, grocery delivery, hot meal distribution and handyman work instead of cash payments for dealing with all that crap yourself.
