Our readingWhat is a korrent?

Framing childcare as unpaid labour, and a mother who stays home as a failure of feminist ambition, is a complete dead end.

Drawn from what David Heinemeier Hansson said

Subjectsambitionfamilygender equality
What these subjects mean

ambition How much to take on and how hard to push: superlinear returns to effort, focus, slack time, and procrastination.

family Children, partners and inheritance: the peak experience, and what to hand on.

gender equality Equal rights and treatment for women and men, and what feminism is for.

What David Heinemeier Hansson actually said

    But there's something that's just not right in the analysis that children are a burden and that if woman chooses to stay at home with the kids, that that some sort of failure mode of feminist ambition. I think that's actually a complete dead end.
