Wouldn't it be better to give women more choice in general and the option of therapy if they take on a job with a risk of PTSD? Dismissing the concerns of the women actually doing the work isn't making things any better.

Of course. I’m literally not seeing anyone offering to actually pay for that in this thread, are you?

Why yes, I've helped pay for girls to stay in school in impoverished countries.

Are you willing to stop carrying water for misogynists and abusive employers?

That not only doesn’t answer my question, but might as well be ‘have you stopped beating your wife yet’.

And how have you done re: ongoing jobs? The thing that was the actual topic here?

The reality is that if there were better jobs available for folks relative to number of available employees, the employer wouldn’t be able to find the people to do the crap jobs we’re talking about, and would have to make them better to get anyone to do them.

Or result to actual (or just de-facto) slavery anyway, which does happen in some places.

It’s a continuum.

Actual living conditions in India, in particular, are pretty brutal for most people. But certainly not just there!
