Feninazis won. Nah, more like the economy forced both parents to work. Which many believe was orchestrated intentionally.
I don't completely agree with this. It's DIFFICULT, but it's not impossible. In the modern materialist society, I can see how it would be "impossible," but if we went back to our old ways, cook every meal, care for the things we have, live on an actual budget, it could be done.
The only reason it's difficult is that people want more and more but want to do less to get it.
Women have to do everything now because the men have turned into fleshly sex fiends.
It's not clear to me what the author's intention is in all of this. Economic determinism is not a conservative philosophy.
It also does not address the issue of welfare mothers and the men that they copulate with.
The “economy” didn’t force both parents to work,
TAX POLICY forced both parents to work.
If one father wasn’t supporting his family and 3 other families,
both parents wouldn’t have to work.
“Numerous academic studies suggest that more hours spent in daycare in a child’s earliest years is associated with lower social competence and negative behavioral outcomes, and that these persist through childhood and adolescence. Greater amounts of time spent in non-maternal care and younger age of entry into daycare were associated with a greater likelihood of socio-emotional problems and lower cognitive skills.”
Conjunction does not imply causality. One might argue that the children of the lowest-income, least educated parents are most likely to be in daycare, and their lower levels of achievement are due to inheritance.
For example: Low-income stay-at-home moms, where the annual household income is less than $36,000, report higher levels of unhappiness. Over half report they are struggling, and four percent say they are suffering. Only 46 percent say they are thriving.
Okay, what else can you tell us about these "moms"? For example, which ones are married? Are the "thriving" 46% married? Unmarried motherhood is highly correlated with unhappiness.
Well I'm sure not gonna complain about the existence of daycare.
Having a five-year-old when you're fifty gives you the choice of daycare, or having your kid raised by Rip Van Winkle ;o)
From what I hear in my office, married motherhood means taking care of husband as childish as the kids -— doesn’t want to work, wants to have his demands for daily sex addressed, wants to buy himself cool gadgets while the kids go without, wants to make demands about “respect” and makes complaints about his “role as father” being “respected” and that if everybody doesn’t jump when he says so being “emasculated”.
It’s all about their genitals.
Well someone has to be the adult in these situations and usually it is the woman
My husband worked with a woman who said, “I am working so my husband can pay for his golf.” It wasn’t too long after that they divorced.
It’s all about their genitals.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There is one more thing to add to your list. They are addicted to porn and other sexual perversions.
yep, agreed
A family of four can easily be raised on $50,000 a year. One simply has to live at the standard that families lived in the 1960s. Cable TVs, multiple cell phones, multiple computers, several cars, and large houses are expensive. It’s all about choices.
Exactly. We could live on my husband’s income. It would be tough, but we could do it. I would have more time to hand out laundry, wash cloth diapers, plant even larger gardens than I do, etc. as it is we already purchase basically ingredients versus packaged, prepared foods. I bake our bread and even make our corn tortillas. The reason I must work is for my retirement. We wouldn’t have enough to put a little something in my IRA every year so that I wouldn’t be a burden to our children, or be visited by a death panel. This was very well thought out, and the plan since FDR. I just count my blessings that I’m off every evening, weekend, holiday, and summer. My husband is on for 24 and off for 48. This means our in-home childcare expenses are minimal, but most importantly another person isn’t raising our kids.
One thing to keep in mind, though, with the devaluing of the currency,
a minimum wage earner in the 50’s had the same buying power
as a degreed professional today.
Because women are known for their equanimity, scrupulous adherence to fair-play, and willingness to subordinate their desires.
Get real. If you can't find a corresponding weakness in women for every trait you abhor in men, it indicates nothing but chauvinism.
I am being “real”
