her? This is true, unfortunately. There is a, uh, "gender-bias" in administrative work.

Maybe, maybe not. If (s)he's not married, making 20k, and working the night shift 8-10 hours, which was my example, I don't think one can say (s)he's got a better life.
and otherwise do things that are not connected with her

A choice which Wilkes can make, because of his education and intellectual capital--his privilege. The word processor doesn't get to choose this kind of life, no? I doubt Wilkes would suffer the indignity of mere word processing. But he could if he chose to. Not so with the WP and law practice.
