…reviewers critiqued that…

[edit]

This is a very peculiar oriented review. The reviewers consider that private housework HAS something to do with value and that women’s work outside IS "undesirable". They are wrong as of the fact that Davis does not answer about value. Davis clearly says on p. 234 why the question of the reviewers does not make sense. I doubt the encyclopedic value of mentioning such overtly partisan review. There are lots of opinions on housework! Dominique Meeùs (talk) 17:06, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partisan comments are fine in Wikipedia if attributed, due weight, and contrasted with different partisanships. Race & Class is a peer-reviewed academic journal within the field of domain of the book, which is about as clear-cut as it gets. Typically both authors and critical reviewers will accuse each other of ignoring clearly presented counter-arguments in their writing, but it is synthesis for us to say "X was wrong because the original text says Y". — Bilorv (talk) 11:27, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
