[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [/quote] My 16 year old daughter blames it on feminists forcing women to work outside the home. I guess my kid isn't picking up on the cues to be a feminist very well.[/quote] You sound proud. Even if she chooses to stay home you should encourage her to get an education and be prepared to support her quiver full of kids. Early death and divorces happen despite our best made plans. Sixteen is almost an adult and pretty late for childish fantasies. [/quote] The dual income trap is real. As more women entered the workforce, it did lead to a rise in the cost of living and basic goods like housing. IT's simply because families had more money to chase after the same basket of goods. It's an economic phenomena and which in turn caused more women to go back to the workplace and brought the end of housewives to an end. All this is separate from the other arguments of feminism - discrimination against women was absolutely very real. [/quote]
