I think your guess is a good one.
It's my opinion that women aren't necessarily gung-ho to work outside the home.
I didn’t realize there were so many misogynists on Free Republic.
Some of us endure near poverty to stay at home with our children. Not every American woman is eat up with careerism.
It’s really difficult to pigeonhole half the population, isn’t it? There are American women who DO stay home and raise their children, some take care of the children of women who work outside the home. There are American women who are career-focused who don’t want to stay home with their children and those who forsake altogether having children of their own. There are women who have to work to supplement their husband’s income, and others who are the primary breadwinner. The variables just go on and on.
Alas, since the “Great Society” is seems the option of staying home has declined dramatically and dangerously.
