Sketchy daycare, and even worse schools.

Not a hard decision to make. Do with less.

GK Chesterton once said,
“Ten thousand women marched through the streets shouting, ‘We will not be dictated to,’ and went off and became stenographers.”

Maybe if more women didn't abort their pregnancies, there'd be more working mothers?

Just spitballin'.

It two perverts adopted a kid and one pervert stayed home to care for the kid, the libs would champion him.

“”GK Chesterton once said,

Too stupid to realize... that they were being “nudged” (thanks, Cass)... to abandon their homes and their families in favor of a “career”... thus fulfilling one plank of the left’s agenda to disrupt and destroy the traditional American family and home (which is “why” it takes a village, ya know).

So easily led, so dumbed-down and pliable, and so darn eager to help the evil left fulfill its agenda of the destruction of America and of American values and traditions. Anybody got a spare P-hat I can borrow? I’m feeling nostalgic here.

As I see this article, the people cited are only worried about the 1% of working women who are already in executive positions........or, at least, that’s all I see mentioned in the excerpt.

What about the 99% of working women who are not executive types?

It’s The Washington BLEEP, for crying out loud. They ruined NASCAR viewership five races, and now they’re destroying the NBA/WNBA with a conference final every other year and a WNBA Final every other year. Fans are seeing the EVIL of the BLEEP.

The BLEEP is advancing an agenda that the late George Gordon Battle Liddy called, “Washington’s Quaint Little Alternative Newspaper”.

Translation: The Dims at WaPo are concerned that motherhood and family values will lead to less future Dim voters.

The worldview of libsocs requires too much conscoius negativity. Its why 1/4 of the women are on prescribed psych anti depression drugs, another 1/4 aren’t but need to be, and their men think they’re women because they’ve been brainwashed to hate themselves just for being men.

The WaPo newsroom is staffed in large part by childless feminists of both sexes.

If they are good moms, they will. If they are like the “Housewives” of Atlanta or wherever, they’y won’t.

We might see an M-shape of female labor force participation rates, like in Japan, where women left the labor market for a while when they got kids and re-enter when the kids are big enough to be home by themselves or by a sitter.

That’s how morally bankrupt the left is.

To: No name given

They tell women
1. Corporations are morally bankrupt.
2. Your most important thing is your career.

Anyone else see the problem?

Bingo. Women in happy traditional marriages who stay at home to raise their children tend to vote for candidates who support traditional values.

They probably never noticed that married women with children are found to be more happy than woman who are single and/or childless. While increasing income helps happiness to a point, there is diminishing returns. Maybe smart women are catching on from their happier sisters.

They think money is power, working for a paycheck is power, overlooking the power in raising kids

Not to mention how the kids want mom. Period. Um. Need mom.

Swift doesn’t have kids.
