Mad definitions

Feminine Mystique - What a woman wants. "WANT?! You have everything! All the education you'll ever need to be a housekeeper, a home to clean, children to nurture and a husband to whom you are servantile. What more could you need?!"

The Glass Ceiling - The men don't want to do any work, so work that constitutes more than signing papers can be given to the women [i.e. lower ranks do more manual labour.]

The Second Shift - The second job you have to do because your family needs it, but you don't get paid.

Bona Fide Occupational Qualification - They may be able to carry another human being inside them for 9 months, and then provide for them for the rest of their lives, but things that don't have feelings could not possibly be handled by a woman.

  2. Maybe we do because they belong to us, and we're hard wired to care for things that are ours.
