In her ground-breaking work on the social contract theorists\, Carole Pateman explains this contradiction and highlights the link between the following relationships: traditional husbands/ wives\, employers/employees and sovereign/subjects. This comparison was initially jarring but also very fruitful. By juxtaposing these relationships\, she argues that it is through contracts for the exchange of property in the person that relations of subordination became managed in modernity. In this paper\, I consider Pateman&rsquo\;s analysis in the context of Mary Anne Case&rsquo\;s conclusions about women in the workplace in &ldquo\;Pets or Meat&rdquo\; and David Graeber&rsquo\;s&nbsp\;<em>Bullshit Jobs</em>.</p>
