here’s an offensive thought .,...
the vast majority of women regardless of marital status or motherhood, hold jobs outside of the home. so do their husbands if they are married.
that’s 2 jobs. how many jobs can the american economy create?
that’s 2 taxable incomes per family. that drives up costs of everything.
women are expected to work now, and are deemed slouches for not bringing enough to the table if they choose to raise their own children and work at being a wife and mother.
and the women who have given up the idea of marriage and children to go work for corporate and the irs instead ....
if we had a revolution and women in huge numbers decided the better place for them was to be taking care of their own kids and communities .....
but that’s a lot to even think about.
i won’t mention my disgust at the feminization of corporate america and how even remote working has been ruined by the women put in top positions. if you know what i mean, you know what i mean.
it’s no wonder men are disgusted. the only ones succeeding are uber liberal stiletto kissers - and the more incompetent, the better - am i right?
but yeah, imagine if a lot of women walked out. the job market might breathe a little easier.
About 40 years ago, my economics professor would've agreed with you. He said when more families became headed by two working parents, the higher household income led to higher prices.
"women are expected to work now, and are deemed slouches for not bringing enough to the table if they choose to raise their own children and work at being a wife and mother."
So true... Two and three generations ago, women with children worked when the family needed money. By my generation, men expected their wives to work when they had newborns at home, even when the men earned enough to support the family. Women took a short maternity leave (about 6 weeks) to recover from the birth. Today, young men take paternity leave. I have nothing against paternity leave, but it's interesting how attitudes changed from protecting new mothers, to expecting new mothers to return to work a few weeks after giving birth, to now giving new fathers 12 weeks off.
