If women around the world earned minimum wage for the unpaid work they do around the house and caring for relatives, they would have made $10.9 trillion last year.
Where statistics take on the status of such brutal scientific truth in most media, it no is curious why here, the dangerous laying bare of a truth-time-value span for half of the population, becomes relegated to being the hearsay of an 'opinion piece'? Granted, we should all be aware by now how the illusion of objectivity in numbers is any clever propagandist's hat trick, but in this case, when a staggering reality for such a massive segment of the population (read here: with real subversive and revolutionary powers to upset the status quo, if we wanted to) can only be released as 'that's your opinion', then the value of our unpaid labour is also discursively quite cheap...

The pocketed apron lends itself further to secrecy and theft—caching what’s owed and stowing it away for otherwise circulations. An apron is also a protector and shield. For the aproned squad, communication across picket fences and gossip are key forms of solidarity—modes of redistributive practice towards an undercommons.
