Eugene Lang College (NYC) is offering a course this Fall predicated on the belief that women should be paid for housework, emotional labor, and other forms of “invisible labor.”

...and should men get paid rent for letting these emotional laborers live in the houses they pay the mortgage on? Do feminists really want to try playing this game? It's not the '70s anymore and today's men aren't chivalrous enough to put up with feminist BS anymore.

Yes, what you said. And for the classic housewife/stay-at-home mom with no income, by the time he charges her for rent, half of all the bills, half the food, his time to do the yard work and maintain the cars, etc., etc., it probably comes out pretty even. Which is exactly the deal that many couples willingly make (without discussion of the financials), in order to have the home and family life that suits their needs.

I suspect that if a lot of these women who go through this course start spieling their thoughts on this to their boyfriends, the boyfriends will run far away and then the women will have nothing to worry about, since they will live alone and be self-supporting.

My handyman services are a lot higher hourly than nanny or maid services. Has she paid a plumber or electrician lately. I am also 24/7 on prem security. This type of insanity is why a lot of gals cannot find a husband, and no, a real man won’t put up with this bs.
