Good, more kitchens (wo)manned and ready, then.

Heaven forbid they choose to be stay-at-home moms and raise good citizens - time to have traditional family life and to counteract the propaganda from the gov’t indoctrination camps, aka public schools

Dishes and dirty laundry are piling up everywhere.

I've been showing the participation chart for women and how it corresponds to overall participation for the last two years. Peak male participation was in the 1950's and has been declining ever since. Posted all the charts this morning.

Republicrats war on women obviously.

[Paine in the Neck]

Why bother? Uncle Sugar's got them covered.

Bad economy, employment down - women and children hurt most.

Patriarchy was good for women, but they voted for the tyranny of the state instead.

[Slump Tester]

My first thoughts too. Is 55,553,000 women home washing dishes, baking cookies and raising kids really such a BAD thing?

Don’t worry, their husband* works.

*The state, paid for by you and me.

In the 50’s, no.

Now they are welfare moms.

[DoughtyOne]

In the days when one person could provide for the home financially, no it wasn’t really such a bad thing.

Today when two people can barely make it, it is.

Imagine more pressure on businesses to raise pay scales.

Bye bye more jobs...

No, not a good thing at all.

Stay home, have babies, vote Democrat, and live happily ever after.

Chapter Jackson sings a song about it....

That would be nice, but I suspect they may be riding around in submarines instead.

A considerable plurality of young women aren’t staying at home and being wives and mothers, they’re in college. Women now outnumber men in colleges and universities, both public and private. 18-24 year old full time students tend not to be in the labor force, though some are.

Public colleges and universities have a male-female ratio of 44% male–56% female. Private not-for-profit institutions have a male-female enrollment ratio of 43% male-57% female and for all private schools (non-profit and for profit) the ratio is 41% male-59% female.

The female domination of higher education prevails across all types of schools in higher education.

The national male-female population ratio for 18-24 year olds is 51% male-49% female, meaning there are more college-aged males than females.

Wow. The Obummer administration only needs 2,555 more women to make this a very cool number.

[Graewoulf]

All I can think of is a great big Democrat Party W. O. W. !

W.O.W., being short for War On Women, of course.

The democracks are very fond of suffering....other peoples sufferings
