Reducing dependency on employers doesn’t mean completely doing away with employment. Probably the most effective way would be establishing stronger worker protections so employers can’t exploit their employees so profoundly. If employee protections can be designed well enough, and enforced strongly enough that exploitation can be reduced to 0, fully rendering the means of production and their benefits to the worker.
Essentially, we can’t dismantle patriarchy without dismantling the economic structures that prop it up. Turns out liberation movements like feminism and worker freedom dovetail with each other pretty well. After all, no one is free until everyone is free.
You can’t see the difference between being forced to work and have sex with a single man, who you are stuck with without the possibility of divorce, and the general need to work for one of any number of employers? Really?
how does fighting for the right to work reduce the dependency on an employer?
It doesn’t. It means that fighting to reduce our dependency on employers is part of the next step.
who to be dependent on instead? or do you want to grow your own corn in your back yard?

yeah i see it. i was just trying to get it properly formulated out, so it can be properly discussed and people can read and think about it.
