Description
My response was to acknowledge this, saying that such disadvantages could only happen under the current regime in which people have accepted that a line exists between Home and Work, when it is my contention that not only is there is no necessity for such a line to exist; but that the realization of its inexistence might have benefits for all.
- However, Dr Rohn’s comment raised another point in my mind, one that has been much discussed in these fora, which is that there is a direct connection between the artificial distinction between Work and Home, and the seemingly intractable problem of discrimination against women in the workplace.
- So I should like to confront this head on, by offering what I shall call the Conjecture of the Unicycling Girrafe, which is as follows:
- That discrimination against women in the workplace will be massively decreased if, and only if, the normative notion that work should take place in a location separate from home, is questioned, and, having found been found wanting, abolished.
