[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If you're talking about second-wave feminism, I agree. The idea that to fix things women just need to be able to join the workforce (and women who don't and are married are parasites who live off their husband) is just horrible for women.

of course when we add in the economic realities of the world, most women *have* to work for money, feminist ideals be damned, but the economic realities of the world don't dictate that men should do an equal amount of labor at home. So that also screws women over too.

I am a SAHM and the economic realities of the world aren't stacked in my favor either, since it's much, much harder for me to get a job that pays a decent amount after spending so much time out of the workforce, and now that so many women are in the workforce, judges don't want to award alimony anymore. I'm glad I don't have to burn the candle on both ends but it's not a perfect solution either.

Also, women who never get married are more likely to do well financially without killing themselves at home, which is great if they don't want to be married or have kids. But if they do, that's yet another imperfect solution.

The whole issue kinda sucks. [/quote]

Capitalism is rapacious and used feminism to take our labor to benefit the owner class.  The past times where families could do well with one parent working for money and the other could care for home and children was an exception in history and not the rule.

Women have always worked and worked hard, just not in the public sphere.  Modern conveniences freed up their time at home, so now we work in the public sphere too, while also still taking care of home and children, which is a part-time job in and of itself.  The rich get richer, the middle-class gets poorer.  And thus goes the world.   [/quote]
