So the feminism movement went off the rails pretty damn fast, but it did start from a good position, I think. When a woman is mostly dependent on the men in her life, that puts her in a very vulnerable position if there doesn't happen to be any good men for her to rely on. I had an aunt who was married to an alcoholic, and some of the stories she told me were pretty damn bad. He wasn't even a man who would become violent when he drank, but he used all their money on alcohol, to the point they had problems getting enough food, and they had 3 sons. The worst years for her were late 1940s, after the war, and 1950s.
And as far as I understand that was one of the early reasons why some women started to advocate for women to get an education and jobs of their own.
Now I think it would be good if we could get more mothers back home, but what if the husband turns out bad?
How would you solve this?
Married with no children, I hate the B*tch that brunt her bra. The movement destroyed the family unit. I understand your points above which is where family and the church should be stepping in. I am not against women working if that what she wants to do, AFTER the children are raised. I was lucky enough to have a stay at home Mom. She worked in an office while we kids had school. A time long gone I am afraid. The system is such both parents MUST work to make ends meet. There are plenty of women who would prefer to stay home, raise their family and keep house. But this would have avoided all the poison we eat. Home made food vs boxed. I would love to stay home and keep the house, garden, cook and clean. Unfortunately, I make the money he pretty much stays home except for the odd job here and there......
The "bra burning" was a loxist media stunt in Atlantic City. You need to stop trusting your college teachers on stuff like this.
