The Business of Being a Woman

CHAPTER VIII
20/23

The man at his labor in the street, in the meeting places of men, learns unconsciously, as a rule, the code, the meaning, the need of public affairs as woman learns those of private affairs.

What it all amounts to is that the labor of the world is naturally divided between the two different beings that people the world.

It is unfair to the woman that she be asked to do the work of the outer circle.

The man can do that satisfactorily if she does her part; that is, if she prepares him the material.

Certainly, he can never come into the inner circle and do her work.
The idea that there is a kind of inequality for a woman in minding her own business and letting man do the same, comes from our confused and rather stupid notion of the meaning of equality.
