I don't mind females working, but, if they are going to be mothers, I think they should be at home raising the kids.
Bosses: Hire fathers over single females. Hire parents over singles, all other things being equal. Oops: can't do that because the legislatures have outlawed that. Well, at least I can talk about such ideas on this forum. Raising these issues is one thing I can do. Maybe someday the legislatures will stop handcuffing bosses in this (unconstitutional) way.
The way it is now, everyone is accustomed to not being able to raise a family on one wage, so, the thing to do might be to force wages up by having more mothers stay at home with the kids, and closing the borders so that there is not a cheap source of illegal immigrant labor to drive wages down even further.
I'm not fuming, I am writing in this forum to raise points of view that are mostly shouted down in the workplace, and really everywhere. And I am implementing things that I can implement, when I am able.
But I know a lot of females, young adults to middle age. They are single. They work but hate it. They can not find eligible males to date and marry. They can have kids if they get artificially inseminated or just have a kid outside of marriage. They themselves do not like these options. And the problems all come back to: women are just giving it away today.
Women: Do not give it away. Plain and simple. Then, you will have lots of eligible males who will be interested in marriage.
I know a lot of moms, who work at bad pay rates, at jobs they hate, when they would rather stay at home and be good mothers and raise well-adjusted kids. But they can't stay at home, either because the wages have been driven down by too many females in the workplace and it takes two wage-earners to make a decent home.
But mothers would be doing a greater good, for themselves, their kids, and society-at-large, by staying home with their kids.
Mothers, stay married and stay at home so that you can raise kids.
You probably agree with much of what I have written but, since it is not PC to even mention the things that I say, you seem instead to be shying away from the argument and focusing instead on what you imagine I am thinking or emoting, as if that mattered.
Why can you not just refute some of what I am saying, or for that matter agree with it, whatever you choose, instead of just offering up distraction after distraction in the form of psychobabble?
I'm answering you, you just don't like my answers. And no, I don't agree with a lot of what you say. I do not think bosses should go back to discriminatory hiring in order to force the kind of social policy you want.
I think couples should decide the best way to raise children, and act accordingly, as individual families. I do agree with you on border enforcement, but notably, our President does not, and he has more of an affect on our policy there than I do.
I'm sorry the women you know are unhappy and having trouble forming families. I married at 31, when I met the right guy, and was in no particular hurry about it; I didn't see marriage as my ultimate aim. I don't know that women will uniformly do a "Lysistrata" to make men marry.
Women who work in low-paying jobs they hate are probably better off staying home, if their pay is erased by daycare and job-related expenses. I've seen many people speak to that on these boards, that with some belt tightening it can be done. There's a difference between job and career, and those of us who enjoy and are fulfilled by what we do are likely to stay in the workforce. Mothers will "stay home" if they find it feasible and fulfilling to do so, not for broad social change.
