Stop wrapping care work in the word love and making women do it for free.

Someone runs to the hospital at midnight holding a child with a fever. Someone changes the diaper of a parent who can no longer get out of bed. Someone packs lunches, folds laundry, and remembers everyone's schedule. The world could not run for a single day without this kind of care work. Yet humanity has pushed most of it onto women, unpaid, and left it out of every economic calculation. When someone cares for the elderly in a nursing home, they get a wage, and it counts toward the nation's wealth. When they do the same work at home, people say it is only natural for family, and it counts as zero. This is plainly wrong. We cannot stop because someone profits from it. If care is done for free, companies can rely on workers who put in long hours, and governments can spend less on childcare and elder care. To protect that arrangement, we have spent thousands of years polishing beautiful phrases like motherly instinct and family bonds. The love may be real, but using it as an excuse to load the burden onto one side is exploitation. The way out is to count care as the foundation of society. Put the care done at home into the way we measure a nation's wealth. Raise the pay of care and childcare workers to match how heavy that work truly is. Make it normal that whoever gives care does not lose their job or their livelihood. Only when we treat care not as priceless love but as labor that everyone supports will love finally be free to simply be love.
