While that’s funny, no denying it, that isn’t my overall view of women and their attempt to expand on their traditional roles.
I will say this though. Our society has paid a very heavy toll for women leaving the home and joining the work force. Our homes are failing at alarming rates, and our children are being abandoned to raise themselves.
We have seen the results. Now it’s time to reassess. Were the people who predicted this right in the 70s and 80s?
Is our society better off today?
There are many factors to be sure, but I think we’ve made a big mistake in undervaluing the home, and over valuing participation in the work force.
Something is rotten in Denmark, when one wage earner can’t go out and earn a living that will sustain their family. Today it’s hard enough for two to do it, in most instances.
Women will say that it shouldn’t be them who should be staying home. It’s just as good an idea if the man stays home. Strangely, when it comes to divorce, that logic is long forgotten. Oh, my darlings should live with me. I’m their mommy.
