Children are evidently instructed in the reality of class bodies and the logic of social structure before they have any first-hand acquaintance with these social processes; indeed, by working the embodied relations of class domination into the role play and role learning of the pre-school years, we make it difficult for them to have any unmediated first-hand experience that would militate against these habitual distinctions.\"", "timestamp": "1561046790"}, {"author": "Howie", "source_link": "https://www.facebook.com/jefftk/posts/999016366072?comment_id=999057847942&reply_comment_id=999058017602", "anchor": "fb-999057847942_999058017602", "service": "fb", "text": "→ \"Second, women are resoundingly likely to be cats, and cats - both male and female - are most likely to have clerical or service jobs in the service sector (see Tables 3 and 4).
