Interesting, but a pity that these 1000 words were not explained by a single picture, for example a chart of the m/f labour split over the years.

“the rise of leisure time”

I don’t think it’s actually leisure time. It’s a lot of non-productive required micro-tasks that like trying to find a place to live and scrolling an app for good prices on necessities, and mindlessly clicking for information about how to participate in the economy where job skills expire every few months. And watch children and exhaust yourself trying to figure out how to set them up for success and keep them out of trouble. And look for a partner, and do all the things required to compete with extreme selectivity, or extreme self-selectivity.

I’m not wired for all of that. I just want to work.
