    In many third world countries, women are confined, often forcibly, to domestic work. Married women, despite being educated, are forced to do domestic work. This situation holds true in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, and even some parts of North and South America. The women's domestic work is not accounted for in GDP calculations in these countries. Imagine if their immense economic contribution(s) were to be recognized. These countries might climb up the ladder, too. But what good is this ladder, really? It is just a mark of one-dimensional, inaccurate, and exclusionary economics.

    Yes, we know, you make no contribution to this country or your community. You never did, you never will. You hate this country
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
