but the below quote is utterly sexist. Copyright in 2013, so assuming e-flux and the author obey the law, published after the start of 2013. (I don't think its taken out of context either, but that would require understanding the reading).

Riley.6 In this they join those others outside the wage scale, that is women, old people, and children."
