You and I have touched a raw nerve, my dear!

It reminds me of what happens when a pro-life person dares to say the truth about abortion. Howls of outrage.

Decades ago there was a child psychologist named Jay Belsky who tried to sound a warning about putting babies in daycare. For that, the Leftist media almost destroyed his career. This article from the NYT in 1987 is actually one of the more balanced -
Day Care for Infants: Debate Turns to Long Term Effects.

The irony was, Belsky had set out to prove that daycare was actually good for children. But when he found the opposite, he published his real findings – not the socially correct dogma that daycare is good, or at least harmless. (Imagine that, an honest social researcher.)

The pressure on Belsky to retract was so intense, he did retreat somewhat to try to appease outraged feminists and the career women whose consciences he had ruffled.
