I agree. Being in the work force isn’t in the best interests of all women and all families. It’s not good that society has reached a point in many environments in which a women is expected to bring in a second income instead of supervising home and family obligations....which is a full time job.
I think what is laudable is that it is now possible for all women to choose work. In my parents day jobs for women were very limited. Female higher education was rare for most in the middle class. Now more than 50% of many college student bodies are women. For me if they choose to work more power to them. We can argue that they should stay home for family stability, but that is definitely a personal and family decision.
In my case my wife never worked after our children were born. My mother worked after we all were gone only because she wanted to. Ascribing the increase in female workers to financial necessities is an over-simplification. Much of it is a rational choice made by educated and motivated women.
Women AND men would be a lot better off if women stayed home to raise their kids!
Is Prager’s point that having more Women in the workforce means there are less Men in the workforce? What’s his point?
Who cares if there are more Women? If they want to work, good for them. My Father’s former Girlfriend helped build P-38’s during WWII.
The idiotic Women in White did nothing but embarrass themselves and prove the Democrat Voters (Legal and Illegal) have lost their frigging minds.
Why?
I normally like Prager's "Prager University" clips on Youtube but I reject the premise he has here. A woman just sitting at home while her children are in school is doing what for the family or her own betterment when she could be working part time? Women are making a choice here.
Once children came along, mother didn't go to work. It wasn't what my father wanted. She also had an elderly mother to look after in the home. He also had two incomes, his career Navy retirement and the job he was working. The grandmother had a retirement income and modest expenses so it was an efficient situation to bring up kids, better than either of his son's have managed to date. That was long ago, however.
The un-hooded klan….
Prager’s “Exodus: God, Slavery and Freedom; The Rational Bible” is excellent. Ethical monotheism. Moving into Tetzaveh, or the later of that part of Torah.
Serious read, for everyone, believer and non-believer alike.
Barefoot and pregnant is no way
to go through life, fellow.
YEs I am not with the president on this issue nor in the long leaves for new parents nor on his relative ambivalence to the homo agenda .
I love him and think he’s great for the country. But I think he’s off in these areas.
