What we need is safe and supportive [b]childcare and eldercare[/b] in this world. These are basics, weapons and designer goods aren't. We as a society should be supportive to each other. [/quote]

Traditionally, family filled those roles. [/quote]

No one requires women to work… If you are that stressed, downsize your lifestyle.[/quote]
