Seriously. Reading this shit has me almost in tears. This is not the future we fought for. People should not live like this.

I'm not looking to fight but since having kids of my own I've learnt that you get domestic maids whose job is cleaning and then you get nannies whose job is child care. Nannies are paid more and often get sent on courses such as first aid and baby stimulation. Their hours are different and many become part of the family and live in. Yes, many are badly treated but many aren't and if we took away this South African culture then millions would loose their only source of income. You can't judge a situation based on a single encounter.
kill yourself
- Raise your damn kids! Why are they like this
  
  how do they think poor people raise their kids
- I really, really dislike telling people to kys, but these kind of people might make me rethink it.
  Imagine defending this neo feudal kak
In my head I know these people merely need to :gulag: but in my heart I want to see them get punched in the mouth every time they say or type the word "domestic" to refer to a human being.
- Make them work as "domestics" for a bit and see how they would cope.
  
  :CommiePOGGERS:
Idk wtf a "domestic" is but it sounds degrading as fuck and like a "cleaner" word for slave.
- Because it is. You're supposed to say "domestic worker", but they can't even manage that.
:proletariat:
- Would love to see a South African version of Parasite just to really drive it home.
  Would like to abolish domestic work more. People can clean their own bloody homes, ne
Reading the words "I'm not looking to fight but since having kids of my own I've learnt that you get domestic maids whose job is cleaning and then you get nannies whose job is child care" in the top comment is really something else...
- Welcome to the world of rich :cracker: South Africans! Enjoy your stay!
  
  Why are there still rich white South Africans in the first place? ANC/MK should have given them the wall decades ago.
Actual human beings referring to someone as “a domestic”
- They changed to domestic worker because apparently "maid" was too dehumanizing.
  It's not much of an improvement.
  Almost like it's the system itself and window dressing with different language changes almost nothing.

  Quite the opposite in my opinion. Maid is at least a word that is exclusively used for humans. The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word domestic is this.
