@goodleftyfundies emotional labor was coined to describe how service workers must contort themselves emotionally for their work places.

@kel not that I agree with hochschild on everything but I’m pretty sure she used it to describe motherhood... I don’t think I’ve heard her object to it’s current usages. I see a lot of upper clsss people on twitter and tumblr use it tho and I think I know what you mean

@kel no I know where it originated... I’m saying she’s broadened the term in her subsequent writings

@goodleftyfundies ah. My problem is however with the decontextualization of her original critique, and how she uses alienated labor in order to describe it, while the strange appropriations in social media circles of such a term lacks this immanent feature in lieu of simply deriding emotions as exhausting
