Fifty years ago, women didn't generally work outside the home. Should we go back to that as "normal"?

Yes.

Well, we'd lose almost half of our workforce if we did.

Wages would then increase.

I am not a fem-bot. But I do not want to be told that as a woman, my only contribution to society is to breed.

Some women have brilliant minds, special skills, wonderful ideas. And it would be a shame if we returned to the days were women were relegated to the kitchen and nursery.

Certainly there is something to be said for a woman staying at home with young children, if it is possible and if she wants to. But that doesn't mean she can't have a rewarding career if she wants one.

This is the twenty-first century, is it not?

I'm still waiting for someone to explain how not having kids is selfish.

Obviously, I feel strongly about this topic because we have decided not to have kids. If women's only value to society is to breed, and I'm not breeding, then I guess my life is worthless. (sarcasm off)

Lump of labor fallacy.
