women in the workplace

and men in front of the television

“The woman does not work because the man tells her to work and she obeys. On the contrary, the woman works because she has told the man to work and he hasn’t obeyed.” — G.K. Chesterton, What’s Wrong with the World

Man was made for the garden and woman was made for the man. He takes care of the earth and she takes care of him. His work is to go out and bring back while her work is to receive and give back.

“What is called matriarchy is simply moral anarchy, in which the mother alone remains fixed because all the fathers are fugitive and irresponsible.” — G.K. Chesterton

There would be no room for women in the workplace if men were already there. Women work when men are lazy. Women punch in where men have checked out. Women go out where the men won't get up. Women take charge where men have given up.
