@marqwalk290 Mother blame refers to the entirely incorrect and unfair perception that women in poverty are struggling with such poverty due to their own actions. This perception fails to recognize the fact that often times women in poverty are there because of a broken or failed system.

@marqwalk290 The double-bind which women in the workforce face refers to the polarizing conflict associated with deciding between acting as caregiver versus employee. Women are trapped in a sense, as any progression on one side will inevitably lead to regression or challenges on the other.

@marqwalk290 Neo-Taylorism stems from Taylor's scientific management and is a style of management which prioritizes profits over people. While management and those in high level positions benefited, the workforce was treated as secondary to monetary figures.

@marqwalk290 Companies used the concept of just in time employment in order to cut costs and produce on demand by avoiding "excess" inventory and limiting full time employees. By employing many part-time or on-call workers and avoiding inventory build up, companies aimed to produce on demand.

@marqwalk290 The cult of domesticity refers to the 19th century ideology which viewed women as being less capable than men in terms of ability to work challenging or "rough" jobs. In this ideology, women were better suited for household jobs/tasks and men were meant to work outside the house

@marqwalk290 The working poor refers to a segment of working citizens who, despite their employed status, fall below the poverty line due to challenges such as low wages and/or insufficient working hours. These people are branded as lazy and inferior despite their strong desire to work.
