Tradition: But Baby Boomers in the 1950s wanted to go out and work

>>But today’s generation is returning to the traditional values of home and family - and looking to men to be the breadwinner<<

Just wait — this researcher will be pilloried.

It is like Joe the Bartender said — “let’s tear down the observatory to ensure we never get hit by a comet again!”

Let's get back to basics ladies...

[Talisker]

Young mothers are turning their backs on high-powered careers to raise their children, a study has found.

Sexist pigs. They obviously don't have the right dosage of antidepressants.

What do FReeper Ladies think? Have you seen similar trends here in the USA?

[wardaddy]

Women want to be made happy....and they are fickle and expect that when they grow up they will be entitled to be happy..and if they are with a man then their happiness or unhappiness rises and falls due to you, not them

it can be vexing..

they are just so different than us...very illogogical and emotional

but I love them dearly

don’t ask me to explain this and why am I am a rabid Sarah zealot in the same breath

lol...I can’t

Won’t happen anytime soon in the U.S. either, given that men comprise nearly 75% of layoffs in the last two years. Perhaps an all female workforce is easier for Big Brother to control after all is said and done (or undone)?

Was this an Islamic poll?

[eyedigress]

I could relate to this story but best not to. It is brutal in the world and much harder than 20 years ago. Proven ability is taking over bullshit. Gender and Race is taking a backseat to quality. If a minority is good and works their ass off they get the skill to maintain. If they depend on status they fail. A majority person must always depend on skill only. The system made it that way.

"Tradition: But Baby Boomers in the 1950s wanted to go out and work"

Well, Baby Boomers who were born in the 1950s... But that was close. :-) Great post! I've worked quite a bit with young folks and have heard the same from many young women over the past 15 years or so. Most of them won't be like their moms.

And BTW, they know that their moms wore hip-huggers, micro-miniskirts, and started the serial polygamy trend.

[TigersEye]

They can forget all that. They voted themselves into a socialist paradise. Come to think of it we can forget about it too.

[familyop]

Feminism is heading for nursing homes as we speak and over the next twenty years. ...last ditch, losing political effort for them over the next couple of years before senility gets the best of ‘em. There won’t be another Hillary in the White House.

[Monorprise]

Family is probably the most important thing there is in to be had in life, baring none.

Women can and will do what they wish, but forgo family you’ve missed the only true treasure in life.

A job or career is after all only temporarily, family is forever and eternally apart of you.

I don’t think anything can ever be more important then your family.

To be quite honest I’m not sure how we ever got to the point where we could so cautiously forsaken our own families, such as we have in this way.

[Antoninus]

It's not surprising that this attitude is coming back around. I think a lot of it stems from the fact that young women have object examples in their own families of 50-60-something women who never married and had children but instead were married to their careers, and are miserable for it. I know we have such in our family and it is sad.

I tend to subscribe to G. K. Chesterton's view:

"When domesticity, for instance, is called drudgery, all the difficulty arises from a double meaning in the word. If drudgery only means dreadfully hard work, I admit the woman drudges in the home, as a man might drudge at the Cathedral of Amiens or drudge behind a gun at Trafalgar. But if it means that the hard work is more heavy because it is trifling, colorless and of small import to the soul, then as I say, I give it up; I do not know what the words mean. To be Queen Elizabeth within a definite area, deciding sales, banquets, labors and holidays; to be Whiteley within a certain area, providing toys, boots, sheets, cakes and books, to be Aristotle within a certain area, teaching morals, manners, theology, and hygiene; I can understand how this might exhaust the mind, but I cannot imagine how it could narrow it. How can it be a large career to tell other people's children about the Rule of Three, and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be the same thing to everyone, and narrow to be everything to someone? No; a woman's function is laborious, but because it is gigantic, not because it is minute. I will pity Mrs. Jones for the hugeness of her task; I will never pity her for its smallness."

I certainly don't begrudge women the right to work if they so choose. However, I think for most women, long-term happiness is more likely to be found in the home with the family than in the office with an ever-shifting crew of colleagues.

Women are the chief civilizers of society. I think that part of the reason our civilization is so corrupt today is because a majority of children aren't really raised by their own mothers but by "social engineers" in the form of daycare workers and public school teachers.

What women want in 2010: A husband who'll be the main breadwinner

The same cycle of history is probably happening here in the USA. It is good news, but ...

If women really want a conservative family life, they are going to have to fight through several election cycles to defeat and reverse the communist garbage that has been dominating and killing our civilization.
