Mrs. Wright weighs in on the issue on her brand new live journal
WE RULE THE WORLD; WE JUST LEAVE THEM THE DRY PARTS
A Defense of Intelligent Femininity
I must disagree with my illustrious Lord and Master’s opinion on marriage and equality. I believe that equality is extraordinarily important in marriage. However, before one jumps into such a discussion, it is important to define one’s terms.
By equality, I mean the kind of respect that equals give to one another.
I do not mean “sameness.”
Employees in a well-run company treat each other as equals. This does not mean that they assume that they can do each others tasks with equal competence. Just because the carpenter and the chef are equal in the eyes of their co-workers and superiors does not mean that the manager is going to send the carpenter to the kitchen and the chef to make a table.
