[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]by saying that there was a division of labor and it was better when moms didn’t work and managed to single-handedly take care of kids needs, is still putting all the responsibility for child care on the women’s shoulder.

As a society, we decide what is important. Given that there is no minimum parental leave, affordable childcare, good before / aftercare options, we have decided as a society that having children is not valued. The moms lamenting are a result of that. But it’s not the feminists to blame, it’s all of us as a society because these are our values: families and children are not priority for us as a society. It’s that simple.[/quote]

Yep, having children is just some personal choice (possibly selfish) luxury for parents, at least as far as society sees it and is willing to support it.

Women having the ability to have economic independence from men is crucial, whether they choose to SAH or not.  This really isn't debatable.  Better options for meaninful part time work when kids are young, or even ability for a single earner family to support an average lifestyle, would be great for family's everywhere.  [/quote]
