For many parents, decisions about work and child care are among the most difficult choices they must make...
Has this been a positive change in our culture? Decades ago, it was a given that almost all mothers were married to the fathers of their children, and that most mothers would be stay at home moms. It was a given that almost all fathers worked to support the family.
We could discuss all night long about the ramifications of women’s lib and fallout from the women’s movement. I’m just asking a question, as to whether the advancement of women as a group, has been a worthwhile trade off for society?? In terms of the fallout and effects on family life, and the care of children, was it worthwhile to abandon that social norm of working married father and stay at home mother??
But feminists forced changes so that women felt obligated to behave like men, and live “liberated” lives. Meanwhile men were emasculated and browbeaten as “the problem” and children were seen as anchors that held women back.
I do not think Women's Liberation has helped anyone. And I thnk women suffered the most from it.
