Comments on the subject of the article

We should be considering reproductive labor as women being involved in the work force. They may not be getting paid in some parts of the county for the first year of child care but someone needs to make sure their kids are being brought up healthy and strong. This role, especially in this day of time doesn't need to specifically be a women. Men can make the decision to stay home with the kids as well. Both parents could both work and make sure to get the proper day care for their children. Our society assumes all women should stay home with their motherly skills while men make the money and "take care" of the family. They may be paying for the bills but the one staying home whether be a man or a woman are taking care of a life. This is a team effort, on both ends of the parties. In our gender studies we talk about how important it is for men and women to be treating equally. Feminism plays a huge role in this. Women are capable of being at work and making the money just how men are capable of staying home with their kids. I watched a video not to long ago about how kids who stay home with their dad for the first year of their life end up being a lot more knowledgeable. It is important for kids to know the motherly touch, the one you want to be help by if you get hurt, but it's also important to learn things hands on with dad.

Addition of sub section and other additions"

Hi everyone. I wanted to add a section on the international division of reproductive labor as well as adding more information to the definition section. The definition section leaves out the difference between nonnurturant and nurturant reproductive labor. This would be great to add since women usually preform nurturant reproductive labor while women preform nonnurturant. Arianaaaritelli (talk) 20:37, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Add information on the racial division of reproductive labor

Hello, I wanted to add more details on research looking at the historical racial divisions of reproductive labor, specifically domestic service, in the United States. --Bb1822 (talk) 23:46, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Should add "making babies" as part of reproductive labor

It's kept in some definitions at least, and should be included in the article to avoid confusion, especially with wikilinks. Bastobasto (talk) 18:41, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
