My favorite line in this chapter is on page 234. It states "In Sweden, of course, earning inequality is much lower than in the United States, and medical care is socialized so that a high level of gender segregation carries few implications for the earnings and well-being of women versus men."
The bottom of page 238 is also something that I find an interesting point that Massey brings up. I guess I never really thought about things in the concept. I still think some women try to keep a man around by being pregnant, which ticks me off when I hear about it sometimes.
There are so many different things that separate person to person, gender is just one of those things. It drives me crazy that after years of struggle women are still looked at as lower then men. I am an independent women and have been raised to survive and succeed without a man standing next to me.
I am currently looking into moving to Sweden. :) HAHA
