Forty years ago many women who had never worked outside the home were greatly intimidated by the thought of having to go get a job. That, of course, is different from thinking that they should disdain work, but not all women on welfare have that attitude.

Mostly all of the women who are on welfare do have the attidude that work is beneth them. I will give you 2% who don't.

There is a world of difference between a homemaker of 4o years ago, who may have felt inadequate to join the work force and a crack head with 7 kids from 7 daddies-who can't get motivated to stop lazying around.

Dichotomies,yes, but the welfare rolls are more full of the later.

40-50 years ago it was harder for a woman to get a job than it is today.

Now there are numerous incentives to hire women and women get handouts and handups all over the place to join the work field.
