as a woman, and a mother....yes....Ive been there, done that....
its certainly not an experience you have or will ever have....
I dont expect you....to see it any other way, than you have already stated.
Really? Playing the "mom" card rather than the "race" card.
Let's imagine a different way. How would that look?
Right after WWII millions of men came home from the Pacific and Europe and needed jobs. The government used propaganda for the Harrier Nelson or June Cleaver effect. Women stay in the house and take care of men and kids. I'm stating this as fact not as part of imagining a different way.
So this era is the end of modernity and the beginning of a Post Modern era. When I was growing up, it was certainly reasonable to live on one paycheck. A high school diploma, and often less than that, bought you into a reasonable existence.
Then, the 60's implementation of Post Moderism happened in a big way. Some trillions of dollars have been confiscated from some people and transfered to others. The Great Society.
It was meant to fix all of the ills of Modernity. And it completely failed every place.
One of the prevalent tenants of Post Modernism is that as each system fails we say, well that sucks, let's do more of it because we obviously didn't do it enough. Instead of saying, well that sucks, let's try something else.
Or, as you say above, they cut funding for it is why it's failed...and then play the mom card or the race card.
What if we just didn't take trillions of dollars out of our society by government confiscation and redistribution? What would that have looked like.
I'm betting June Cleaver wouldn't have lasted long anyway. But, what if she was allowed to evolve without the government elites fucking it all up?
