[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely women contribute to this problem. Particularly right wing uneducated Christian women who still believe their role is mother/homemaker, supporting their man. [/quote]

I'm a left wing and very educated but begrudgingly admit that my role as mother and homemaker has been exponentially better for my children and my husband's career. Which means better for my life but short term and long term. We could have switched roles but while I could have made what DH makes (which is a lot), he would have been mediocre at raising the kids and keeping our house running. American society is barely set up for 2 working parents, let alone 2 working parents who want to have high-achieving, well-adjusted kids and happy parents. That's why the patriarchy is alive and well. [/quote]

The idea that men are incapable and inefficient at household duties is myth. Of course your husband never cared about learning how to manage a household, he saw his mother do it all for him and then you happily stepped into the role to do the same. And then of course your daughters will do the same and leave the workforce while your sons never learn to do chores or manage a household. [/quote]household.

Ooh, I have an idea.  Let's shame women for their decisions!  That will improve things....[/quote]
