It was not until the Reformation and the age of enlightenment modern society began to reject the Old World values where natural law conformed with moral law. enlightenment philosophers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau abandoned the notion of Original Sin and of fallen human nature and viewed natural law from a liberal perspective … the West for centuries as Aristotle or the later Scholastics (Strange).

… question, “Is leisure as easy for women as it is for men?” the answer is that it is actually easier for women to age in leisure—not harder—and that the reality is that they do not need to age in leisure in the same way that men do.
The point that Codina and Pestana (2019) make stems from their own research into … these cases? Men and women are likely to have completely different conceptions of what constitutes leisure in the first place. They may take age of leisure in different ways as well. Why do they need to age in leisure in the same manner? For the sake of some egalitarian principle that comes from the age of enlightenment?—itself an outdated and outmoded philosophical era rooted in naturalism?
The gender leisure gap is essentially an artificial construct meant to stir up antagonism … focus of researchers should be on……

The Declaration of Independence, written in 1776, asserted that “all men are created equal.”[endnoteRef:2] It was an enlightenment notion: Thomas Paine, an avid follower of the enlightenment Movement in Europe, had written the Rights of Man to support and promote the ideas of the philosophical revolution that had gotten underway … voting rights were ensured for all men regardless of race.
