They were basically slaves but not legally slaves. They couldn't leave the plantation(long termI mean, they could physically leave to go do things) and they didn't get paid in real money and they could be punished corporeally. They could be shot for going onto land of someone who wanted to shoot them, including during medical emergencies where they would have spend extra hours or days going around massive estates to carry someone to the hospital. Conditions varied but like, that was the general deal.

I mean it does go against the narrative of you have to find a man and settle down with him of you want to not be a spinster or whatever.

yes, and as a result they aren't avoiding the labor which you suggest wouldn't be occurring anyway because they don't have time for a relationship.

They dont have time for a relationship while pursuing their own goals. They could get in a relationship and be economically dependent on a man.

Yes. Women want sex without the being forced into doing free labor that comes with it.

I see a lot of people doing hookups when they're in a busy point of their lives and then settle down when they can afford to do a bunch of free labor

How is it deferred until later if they choose not to get in any serious relationship? Also only getting in serious relationships later mean over your life you are doing significantly less work.

How so?

Well, I mean, theyre materially not doing the work.

Women are generally expected to do the bulk of the social reproduction work for free if they're in relationship

Yeah this is bullshit. White petite bourgeoisie do free love stuff but they also eat and shit.

Sorta is a way of rebelling against women being forced into domestic labor for men, just wanted to throw that on the pile of commentary

Thats not really a cogent definition of fascism, you've got to look at the material changes as liberalism moves into fascism not just the rhetoric
