One of the interesting reactions I have seen is how folks react to the following:
Man can do every single task that needs to be done in society, (in most cases better) but one:
Bear children and be a mother to them.
Kind of puts it all in perspective. Unless women have children and raise them to fit in that culture, the society ends in a generation.
I submit that we destroyed ourselves when we bought into the idea the two income family was something to be attained.
It reduced the level of bonding. It flooded the work market with much more people, and for that reason wages could drop due to an over-supply.
So soon it became necessary for two wages to support a home.
If women had stayed home and raised the kids, the wages would have remained high.
This may have eventually led to more outsourcing, but it shouldn’t have. We bought into the idea outsourcing was mandatory and couldn’t be stopped. It could have been, and we’re paying a very high price for not doing it.
We have anywhere from 45 to 90 million able bodied people out of work.
Anyway, thanks for the mention. I agree with your observations.
