[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a dad and I don't want to work full time either. Unlike "most" other white people, the women in my family have always worked since we staggered off the boat from Ireland sometime in the 1840s. Working because your family needs the money but not really wanting to be there is something I call "normal."

What are you expecting, that corporations decide to pay people more so families decide they only need one income? That we return to 1950 levels of union membership and 1950s ratios of CEO to worker wages? 
The investor class says "we're not going back!"[/quote]

This, exactly. If given a choice to construct their own jobs, I bet most people wouldn't independently arrive at 40-50 hours being the sweet spot. I don't think all men would turn down more free time and time with their families in favor of work, either.

That said, yeah, people's solution to this on DCUM seems to be "women should marry men who make tons of money so they can stay home," which is obviously not a scale able solution. [/quote]
