Talk:Bodies as Productive Machines

Hi, great work so far! The points that stood out to me as i was reading through the wiki page were that the headlines really does cover the main points that needs to be explained under the topic of human bodies and the economy. Furthermore, the sub-titles are also very useful. Under Women’s Health, breast cancer and reproductive work were both included. These two paragraphs really act as back up supporting the overall idea of women’s health. The reference also seems to match the information displayed on the page. One concern is that some major important ideas may be missing. Examples of each real life occurrence prior to the issue should be included. Pictures and Videos will also make the biggest difference.

Hi! I really love this topic and I'm excited to read more as you expand the work! I do have a quick question. I really enjoyed your examination of breast cancer as it relates to your topic, but I was wondering if you could expand a little more on the relationship between the disease and how it specifically related to " issues of women’s unpaid labour." As I understood it- women feel ashamed because they are then seen to be disabled in society as they are no longer able to do what is traditionally associated as "women's work?" Is this unique to mothers/wives/CIS women? Perhaps you could quickly contrast it with how this would be different with a male-identifying patient? What are the consequences of this in society? Otherwise a really well thought through piece! Great work!

This is a really interesting topic and your wiki page is off to a great start. I specifically like the section on Breast Cancer and how you explain that women are viewed as not only having breast cancer, but they are also women. This identity serves them as being labelled disabled which is a very interesting topic of debate. I would like to see you dive further into this issue and examine the ways women are demoralized and labelled as such.
