Actually, this guy is near the point, but misses it.

Women going to work has been a SCAM and a COMPLETE SCREWING!

Unfortunately, you need more data to make the point, but it does exist. If you will graph the rise of women leaving the home and entering the workforce, primarily in the 60’s and 70’s, and then graph the double digit inflation that occurred in the 70’s and 80’s, you'll quickly see the true nature of the scam.

Yes people had twice as much income, and were soon paying twice as much in price. In other words, the extremely valuable benefit of a full time mothers was given up - for nothing.

As someone who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s with the valuable benefit of a full time mother, I am constantly amazed at how much stress there is on people that work for us, even though they are two incomes. My Dad's salary was 1/8 of the combined salaries of people that work for us, yet they are constantly in a money crunch.

Sorry, but thanks to inflation, we've given up the fundamental glue that kept kids in line and held families together - for nothing!

“Women going to work has been a SCAM and a COMPLETE SCREWING!”

Agree completely. When I was in high school, my mom fed me the liberal claptrap that staying at home with the kids was unsatisfying and unimportant. When I figured out on my own that staying at home with your kids was the best, sweetest most honorable way to live, that is what I did. However, I never got over the way the “women movement” lied.
