[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]by saying that there was a division of labor and it was better when moms didn’t work and managed to single-handedly take care of kids needs, is still putting all the responsibility for child care on the women’s shoulder.

As a society, we decide what is important. Given that there is no minimum parental leave, affordable childcare, good before / aftercare options, [b]we have decided as a society that having children is not valued. [/b]The moms lamenting are a result of that. But it’s not the feminists to blame, it’s all of us as a society because these are our values: families and children are not priority for us as a society. It’s that simple.[/quote]

Or maybe it’s the opposite. Consider that the conservative argument is that women should be able to stay home with children and [b]therefore a strong economy with high wages is important.[/b]

Compared to a country with lower wages and women returning to work after a year of government paid leave.

I’d argue European countries are less family friendly since through their taxes and lower wages require almost all women to work after having children. [/quote]

lol the same Conservative Party messing around with tariffs, threatening global war conflict, trying to replace workers with AI, and telling us all we and our children + grandchildren can work in factories for years to come? [/quote]

+1 The same Conservative party that wants unfettered capitalism and protections so that corporations don't pay taxes, don't pay living wages and certainly don't care for the environment or their workers. That conservative party? The ones about shareholder wealth? They don't care if families have enough to live on, one or two working parents. [/quote]
