I’m 24 and expecting my sixth baby in September. This is what I wanted to do with my life and it would be totally unreasonable to expect an employer to shoulder the burden of my choice of lifestyle.
Granted I’m an extreme example but the point is that I made a CHOICE, right?
The left prattles on and on about a woman’s right to choose but then they expect the whole world to subsidize that choice with free condoms, free abortions, free health care, free child care, and ridiculous paid leave policies.
Imagine MY employer having to have to keep me on the payroll over the past six years while I was pregnant most of the time? How would that be a responsible policy for the employer? What about their profits and their other employees? What about their customers who’d be missing me pretty much most of every year?
Bottom line here: Men and women are NOT equal!
And if the left wants to say that we are then women should not have more rights in the workplace (or anywhere else) than men.
Thanks for sharing your story. You are right that men and women are not the same. I heard someone say that men and women are complementary, in that, they fill different roles in the family. Both roles are important. Your role as a.mother is very important.
We have heard for decades that the business world should be more family friendly. We have done a lot in that area, but, there are still many areas which may never achieve numerical equality.
Certain facts just cannot be ignored. Among those facts are that females are the ones who bear children. And that children demand a great deal of time and action from parents. And this time and attention is going to come st the expense of a professional career for many.
The attitude now a day's isn't the Owners or Entrepreneur rights. Is that Socialist thinking of "What can they be forced to do for me."
The Government makes Employers do these things, people who benefit from them vote for the Government People. Much Larger Business absorb the cost to keep down competition. Everyone wins. Except the average person.
As usual.
The Marxist ideal is to destroy all biological connections and have males and females interchangeable.....the State breeds the “children” and doesn’t allow women to recognize the infant they gave birth to—like in Plato’s Republic-—the utopia (like Marxism) where the woman is nothing but a breeder for the State and the State controls all the ideas that are fed to the child.
Removing mothers from the formative years of children is essential to the destruction of secure bonding essential to create emotionally strong people, people of character. State doesn’t want individuals who are self-reliant and understand Natural Law (have Common Sense from living with their biological mother and father and are expected to master skills in real life situations (that which creates TRUE self-esteem).
The group think factories and removal of children from the Natural family is essential to destroy the Christian Worldview of Individual Natural Rights from God. The State has to form “collective” thinkers (which removes Logic and Reason intentionally and creates emotional puerile people incapable of Virtue ( Virtue is necessary for Freedom and autonomy.)
I had five children, BY CHOICE, but the “system” tried to force me to abandon my children for “true” “productive” (ha ha) “WORK”. The raising of children is the most important “job” in any State ( for the future—as Lenin knew) and the only reason America came into existence was because of the Worldview of people who did NOT conform to State slavery and collective ideology. They believed in Individualism-—which is ONLY learned OUTSIDE of “daycares” (artificial institutions) which only exist to destroy autonomy and “thinking outside the box”.
A Lincoln or Ben Franklin could not have existed in today’s culture. The State would have put their parents in jail and removed the children. The system is ROTTEN and EVIL and UNJUST and UNCONSTITUTIONAL. All Just Systems promote Virtue only, at all times-—not slavery, or vile behaviors/theft/welfare/sodomy.
This “Prussian” Marxist system of mandatory “education” was aptly commented on by G.K.Chesterton (a genius)-—that the only purpose of mandatory education is to destroy the Common Sense of the Common people.
