“Think of all the talent not being used in the early 70’s when women were housewives.”
Notice all of the businesses that have sprung up since then doing what those wasted talents provided - shopping and delivery services, meal prep companies, wedding planning, therapy and ‘coaching’ services, Hospice care, wardrobe consulting, tutoring, day care, baby sitting, custom cakes, party planners, cleaning services, academic counselors, private duty nursing, and so much more.
Moms went into business so their talents would be appreciated but now they are also taxed.
And THAT is why Big Government socialists did everything they could to shove women into the wage-earning "workforce".
