Great article. The temporal flexibility catch phrase is one I hadn’t heard before. Much of the Northern hemisphere (Nordics excluded) is a mess when it comes to parenting expectations. Come to Argentina, where moms can do both!

Really interesting! it makes me wonder if writing got feminized as more writers were women and that’s why the pay got worse, not that men don’t go into it bc the pay got worse.

Definitely a good question. I’d guess there’s some of both that’s happened along the way!

I have been reading a lot of books by women lately, especially about gender and marriage. I would love more recommendations for more. I have discovered many of my favorite writers via Substack.
