LOL. That's real scientific. Women comprise more than half of those attending college today. On average, they are better educated than males. They want careers, jobs, and independence. Certainly my daughter and nieces do, all of whom work.
Kids suffer because parents come home too tired in many cases to deal with the kids in terms of school and emotional support...I didn’t argue about better education of woman...I merely pointed out that more women are in the workforce today than in past decades. The table I provided clearly demonstrates this is the case...you position was that just as many woman worked in the past as they do today...this is not accurate.
Stop creating phony strawmen. This is what I said, " After WWII, the number of households where more than one parent worked was more the rule than the exception." WWII was a watershed event in terms of women working and the jobs they took. They filled in for the men while they were in the military. As your chart shows, this has increased dramatically since 1950. The chart doesn't indicate the rates for married and single women.
The days of Ozzie and Harriet were better days...they are only over becomes we have pursued economic suicide with stupid trade laws and globalization.
Sorry, but we are not ever going back to that "reality." Women only got the vote [federal] in 1920. Blaming the emancipation of women on trade laws and globalization is nonsense. It was an evolutionary movement that continues to this day.
Women want the same opportunities and choices as men. This is no longer a male dominated society--whether you like it or not. Women are flying attack jets off of aircraft carriers. They are astronauts, lawyers, doctors, etc. I lived five years in Saudi Arabia. You would feel right at home in the way they treat women. I guess your ideal is a Stepford wife.
The stupid Wall Street idiots not only destroyed their companies, they will destroy capitalism with the help of their good buddies the free trade fools.
You do live in the past and your reference to "Wall Street idiots" is reminiscent of Soviet propaganda that blamed Wall Street and capitalism for the ills of the world. Stop blaming the productive members of this society and recognize where the problem really lies, i.e., government. One in six workers in this country now works for the government, which produces nothing. I say that advisedly having worked for the USG for 36 years. You are buying the Dem and socialist progaganda hook, line, and sinker.
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it...I think when something obviously does not work as in the consumption economy, you find something that does...Historically, manufacturing based has worked with some trade barriers...yes trade barriers. Every country in the world has trade barriers to protect their industry... only the chumps in the US are willing to allow trade to destroy their country and in the end capitalism...if something is not done...then prepare for European style socialism.
