In "Worlding Women," it says that "the female and the domestic sphere in which she belongs 'naturally' is obscured, although the female labour and sexual services within it support and allow the male/public/political to function."  When I read that, I can't help but think about the quotation --as cliche and annoying as it can be-- "Behind every great man there is a great woman."  Women are constantly behind men, helping them succeed.   It just fascinates me that, "female labour and sexual services" back men and "allow" them to get anywhere at all.  By acquiescing to the situation of existing in an "obscured" sphere, are many women enabling men?  Are they allowing men to use them?  And in that sense, are they enabling themselves, avoiding a more difficult road of dissent?  Or is this simply a western feminist view that limits the definition of feminism?
