[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would they still fight for workforce accessibility/equality or accept that stay at home mom is better than working a full time job and not seeing their kids grow up? Did it provide the happiness it promised?

Saw this question being asked and I know what I would choose[/quote]

I think about this all the time. I think if you have a good marriage and husband, assuming that one job is enough to live a nice life, the 50s way seems easier. But that's a lot of ifs. [/quote]

Considering the explosion in the divorce rate with the advent of no fault divorce and that women initiate 70% of divorces I'd say the evidence on the "ifs" is in, and it's not in favor of a 50's style marriage.

I'm always a little suspect of these posts. They never discuss the fact that until the '70's women couldn't get credit cards or mortgages in their own names. Marital rape was still legal in some states into the '90's. If you did need a job because you were a widow, your husband was disabled, your husband was a drunk and couldn't hold a job, you could be fired for being a woman up until the 60's and for being pregnant up until the '70s.

So yeah, I sure as hEL! hope we'd fight for our right to workforce accessibility and equality. [/quote]
