At the beginning on the article, Fischer goes on to say that those that believe that women were equal to men during that time have been lied to by those who preach that they are. From there, he goes on to speak of the injustices of the labor force. ''"But if you want a human being's services you have only to hold up your hand and at once you will have a score of human beings to choose from. You don't even have to buy them. Each day you need pay them only what it will take to buy their food and lodging and if ever they become sick you have simply to throw them out and hire others in their place."'' Essentially, the gears that keep in the system are completely replaceable. Workers were seen as commodities rather than living beings. Fischer was appalled by the views of the labor force and was also stunned by how women were viewed as well. | At the beginning on the article, Fischer goes on to say that those that believe that women were equal to men during that time have been lied to by those who preach that they are.
