If a person, be s/he a feminist or otherwise, hires another person to clean his or her house, it's "classism" (which I suppose is another way of saying bad), but if s/he goes out to a bakery and buys bread, that's not "classism," even if the products in question are both of the kind regularly provided by women's unpaid labor in the past? Or are both instances of "classism"? What of building a house? Fixing a house? Better to do them on your own than hire services of others? What of the cases of sending kids to kindergartens and aging parents to nursing homes? Better to take care of them on your own, to avoid charges of "classism"? -- Yoshie
