Indeed, a clear-eyed look at the nearly universal twin features of female caregiving and female subordination indicates: 1) that a certain class of persons has been subjected to and socialized to develop the character traits and the volitional structure needed for dependency work; 2) that certain sexual behaviors commensurate with forming attachments, being submissive to another's will, and so forth have been made compulsory for women; and 3) that poor women and women of color have been forced into paid employment as dependency workers by the scanty financial resources and limited employment opportunities available to them, and middle-class women have been forced out of paid employment not commensurate with their (largely unpaid) duties as dependency workers. It has not merely “happened” that women have consistently “chosen” to make dependency relations and dependency work central to their vision of the good life, while men have chosen a wider variety of options.","author":"Eva Feder Kittay","tags":["caregiving","dependency","feminism","free-market"],"id":37175,"author_id":"Eva+Feder+Kittay"},{"text":"Whether it's a Christian or a non-Christian, there's nothing like suffering to show us how small, needy, and not in control we are. Suffering has a way of sobering us up to the realization that we can't make it on our own, that we need help, that we're broken.","author":"Tullian Tchividjian","tags":["dependency","glory-of-god","suffering"],"id":47610,"author_id":"Tullian+Tchividjian"},{"text":"I began to see that while equality often entailed women crossing the sexual divide between women's work and men's work, equality rarely meant that men crossed over the divide to the women's side: our side – women's – the side where work was largely, though not exclusively, unpaid or poorly paid care of dependents.","author":"Eva Feder Kittay","tags":["caregiving","dependency","feminism"],"id":55937,"author_id":"Eva+Feder+Kittay"},{"text":"The rise or fall, success or failure of your dreams is largely dependent on the association you build yourself around.","author":"Israelmore Ayivor","tags":["associates","association","big-dreams","companion","companions","companionship","depend","dependency","dependent","dream","dreams","failure","fall","food-for-thought","friendship","israelmore-ayivor","leaders","leadership","martin-luther","martin-luther-king","martin-luther-king-jr","people-friends","relationship","rise","rise-and-fall","success","success-and-failure","you-can-rise"],"id":67383,"author_id":"Israelmore+Ayivor"},{"text":"In the old days feminists would mock women who depended so much on a man.
