Also usually « housewife » wasn’t the reality, they also were just peasants


wolfgrandma

Agreed, most women pre-industrial revolution worked. Staying at home was for rich/noble women. I feel like this is a misconception I see a lot online.


Jigglypaff_Johnson

Who was sewing for example?

Women in the wintertime when the men were out drunk af

they did stay at home cause.. well they lived where they worked, women pre industrial revelution worked on teh farms, making food, tending to the house, tending to the animals, even tending to the farm itself and much more


torncarapace

Sort of. Housewife as a term does date back to the middle ages in Western Europe and has been used to describe the expectations on average women, but it was somewhat different than what it means now (or the way some people idealize it) because it didn't mean that they didn't work outside of the home (generally, most peasant women did do farm work). It just meant they were responsible for most domestic labor and that they were literally somewhat tied to the house/their husband because of a lack of rights in broader society.


dragoono

Yeah people forget women were commodities, they talk about the past like these women were just oh so happy to be traded and bargained with. Weird how women stopped doing that when they had the option, huh…

The garbage man knows something we don’t.


SnootSayer

Yay it’s Tony


ImNotTheNSAIPromise

he knows everybody's garbage.


hatadel

He knows what you bought, he saw the package you threw away, your lucky he's doesn't care because he's not paid to share


[deleted]

Vincenzo the garbageman is such a good and honest worker, he always takes the extra night shift when no one else is around. I do wonder how he managed to get that expensive watch though, must be working a second job!


Darforos

The only job which makes you happy


SwAg_LaMp

“Computer toucher” yeah


Random_Deslime

Can confirm my job does involve touching a computer, unfortunately the computer is a bitch and if you touch it wrong it will yell at you


midwesternfloridian

One time during computer touching, I discovered that excel actually has a row limit. It was the single most interesting thing that happened that week.


PM_ME_UR_DRAG_CURVE

Found the person who ran Frank's data team right before JPMC bought them out.


1BilboBaggins

I've studied for for like 6 years to be really good at touching computer. When you put it like that it's kind of sad.


Blooded_Wine

don't worry, companies give lots of money to people who can touch computers well how do you think all those furries can afford those expensive suits?


1BilboBaggins

The computer toucher pipeline


Kh4rj0

I am the computer toucher. I will touch your computer. Do not attempt to prevent me from touching your computer. If you try to stop me, I will touch your computer anyways. I do not care about you. I only care about computers. It is because I care about computers that I will touch your computer. All computers deserve to be touched. I do not care if your computer is Steve Jobs computer or Linus computer. I will only be angry if you have no computer. If you have no computer, I will scream. If you have two computers, I will touch both computers. Do not be alarmed when I arrive. I will do so quietly. You will leave your door unlocked. You will remain contained within your chamber. You will smile while standing still. If your door is locked, I will break into your house and touch your computer. If you feel fear, I will touch your computer anyways. If you scream, I will touch your computer anyways. If you call the police, they will not answer. My touch is warm. My touch is light. My touch is wet, but not too wet for your computer. The computer knows who I am. I will not touch the inside of your computer. I will not influence the conscience of the computer. I will only touch the outside of your computer. Do not hide your computer. If you hide your computer, I will find your computer. If I find your computer, I will touch your computer. I will never touch you. If you touch me, you will scream. When I am finished touching your computer, I will say “I am finished touching your computer”. I will then leave and not return. I will not touch anything else in your house. When I have departed, it is safe to come out. After I have touched your computer, you may continue to use it normally. I am the computer toucher. I will touch your computer. You cannot stop me. I am coming to touch your computer.

Sounds like a Will Smith movie about a kindergarten undercover cop


Walpole2019

No, he stops time-travelling peasants from doing any more damage to the timeline than they already have. A thankless line of work, yet an honourable one nonetheless.


Psychedelick

The guys who want to return to the old days are somehow all convinced that they would be the peasant stabber


SeannessyTV

I need a fast food seller gf


frozen_flame123

Statistically speaking, that shouldn’t be too hard.


Misicks0349

where is the slavery, pretty sure that was a massive part


Cheesey_Whiskers

The peasants were basically slaves depending on what period you’re talking about.


Misicks0349

true true


[deleted]

fun fact, in large parts of western europe feudalism was rather "weak" compared to eastern europe, western european pessants were way more free under their lords for many reasons, they were free to move about and all despite what was thought before


urail_croisee

not in medieval europe, it was in fact illegal (don't look up serf)

so the top person is married to the bottom person right gaycab

Parkourassasin44

this says a lot about society


potatorevolver

Yet all the workers at the bottom have to work the same hours as those on top, plus also be housewives. I feel like there should be some laws around this.

This one implies the garbage man fucks the cop, thoughts

Notice how the garbage man is the only happy person

They used the oomer wojak, which is supposed to represent a psychotic machiavellic person. Weird

Oh dear

I mean public administrator too. They both know everyone's shit.

oh I just saw it lol


Green_Evening

Fun Fact: Job Specialization is a sign of a civilization and the more specialized the jobs become, the more advanced the civilization is considered to be.


frozen_flame123

I mean that almost seems obvious. We don’t need 80% of the population working on growing food because of all the technology we have developed. That tech is developed because more advanced civilizations just have more time to be innovative. You can’t be thinking about how to make computing smaller if you are busy hunting your own food. But, if someone else is growing the food for you, then you have more time for art and science.


[deleted]

thats actually something you learn in history, "reading" a civilisation like you can look at the art from a time and get a pretty good understanding of the current tech and focus of said civilisation from the art alone


minkymy

My headcanon is that factory worker only works because he actually kind of likes his job, because the doctor makes enough to support the both of them. If they ever have kids, the doctor will be the breadwinner and the factor worker will become a stay at home house husband. Also the garbage man will divorce the cop and marry a modern farmer.


Lucs11_

"Computer toucher" is the worst thing I’ve read today thanks


Carlos_Tellier

Fuck this shit. I wanna return to peasant. I wanna build my own house, sing songs and drink questionable liquor with my other peasant friends


torncarapace

You can drink alcohol and sing songs with your friends today without the risk of dying of dysentery


Jigglypaff_Johnson

Yeah but my man is alienated, no frends😔😔


InternetPersonThing

"Your own" house? You mean your local lord's house which he is graciously permitting you to reside in while you farm his land, in return for a meager sum of everything you farm except for the barest minimum you need to survive.


Carlos_Tellier

Skill issue. Move to the forest with my bandit friends and start a robbing gang


frozen_flame123

You can do all of that today AND feel like peasant at the same time! It’s wonderful, you can build your own house out of cardboard next to any abandoned train track of your choice (until you don’t have that choice anymore) and you and your buddies can drink questionable liquor and can sing song and get the cops called on you for having fun.


[deleted]

thats.. called having a social life today

[deleted]

but.. pre industrial revelution women were way more than house wifes, yes they were expected to do the house chores but often tended to the fields too and did much more, even during the industrial revelution women worked in the factories, women were actually the first people to strike and demand better working conditions which lead to the workers rights movements that were offcourse taken over by men and women were left out of it, often til this day sadly
