Let us change this discussion, ask different questions. This is how we were talking and what we were talking about 40 years ago.

Get together with a group of people and observe, no matter how big the group. Most of the women who are talking, socializing, laughing, telling tales and stories - they are in the middle, at the center of the event. There is smiling, laughing, joy, stories told - it is rapid fire, story after story - and about what? The children!!! Their children - and all the goings on.

Then go outside the center - there are the men - calmly, methodically, fairly emotionless - talking business and work - and a few women may join them. The women who are with them have become like men, talking business. The women are dry, unenthusiastic, dull and —— dead emotionally for the most part. They have been re engineered, chopped down to the size, all emotion, passion, enthusiasm long since extracted in the workplace.

Same with communities and towns where the majority of women work full time and are not involved much with their children's lives - even the communities have a whole spirit of deadness and lifelessness about them.

Women who are moms who are 24/7 into their kids, family - they have the joy and life that makes families and communities all worth the living no matter the circumstances and all those around feed off the joy that the moms have because they love and serve their families full time. Undeniable.

I had an interesting conversations with some Moms at the pool this Summer. I was the only stay at home Mom. One asked me how I “did it... didn’t I just want to go crazy being at home all the time”. Anyways, I learned a new/hip phrase... “I’m just not that MATERNAL”. All of the women said the same phrase. I then asked where they learned such a “unique phrase” and it was taught to them in college. Essentially, women should remove any sort of true “maternal” feelings/urgings etc... to better their career and they would be better off. When I went to college, the phrase “you can do it all” was taught and talked about. I wonder if it is well known that you can’t “do it all” and you need to remove the idea of being maternal?

Which is exactly how G-d designed it. The basic social 'building block' *is* and is supposed to be, the *family*. All else has sprung from that.

Where did we go wrong? Simple, we decided, as Lucifer before us, that we could order the arrangement better than the original author. We failed, utterly and miserably, of course.

We made the family dysfunctional, and with a corrupted basic building block, all that springs from it is likewise, corrupted, debased, and unable to stand...
