Just Between You and I
Dear Gina,
I did not want to bother my readers by answering your questions, because even a passing familiarity with my work reveals that:
1. I never said teaching young adults was comparable to tending children doing most of their learning at school.
2. I repeatedly and explicitly said the work of child rearing and housekeeping should be shared between the adults, rather than having women do close to 70% of the labor, as they now do (whether they also work in the market economy or not).
3. Although religious believers can argue from common premises, I am not going to argue with people who argue by quoting the Bible. What am I going to say? God told me to tell you to go to work? Five thousand years ago?
I am not using this website to repeat what I have already said twice -- once in the American Prospect and once in Get to Work.
P.S.
I note that you changed your address server for your comment. What happened to your mailbox at vision.org?
