Some new commentary on the evolving nature of women’s work, as a follow-up to comments on gender-driven compensation in social work:
….as the social media world becomes more and more female-driven (after all, social media power users tend to be female) will it become “demoted” in the tech industry, seen as a “soft” profession with lower comparative salaries and less room for professional advancement/leadership? Has that already happened?

Since I just posted about how social roles affect social values, here’s a scenario we recently had in my Critical Thinking class.
A man and his son are involved in a car crash. The father dies on the scene and the son is rushed to hospital. On arrival the surgeon on duty says “I can’t operate on this boy, he is my son!” How is this possible?
Contextualizing it kind’ve kills the question.
