    Challenges→Employment practices that reward workers who can travel are sexist in contexts where women are children's primary caregivers and cannot travel as easily as men

    Reforming employment practices rather than caregiving norms risks entrenching the assumption that women will remain primary caregivers, thereby reinforcing the very subordination the critique aims to dismantle.

    Key Terms

    Caregiving norms(as used in feminist critique)
    The unwritten social expectations about who should take care of children, elderly people, and others who need help—often assumed to be women's responsibility.
    Critique
    A critique is a careful examination and judgment of something—like a book, film, artwork, or idea—where you identify both its strengths and weaknesses. When you critique something, you're not just saying whether you like it or dislike it; you're explaining *why* it works or doesn't work by analyzing specific details. It's a thoughtful, balanced way of evaluating things that helps others (and yourself) understand them better.
    Employment practices(as used in discussing workplace reform)
    The rules, policies, and customs that companies use when hiring, paying, and treating workers.
    Entrenching(as used in discussing social problems)
    Making something so deeply established and hard to change that it becomes even more solid and permanent over time.
