    The fact that one working man could support his whole family just a few decades ago didn’t mean women shouldn’t, couldn’t or didn’t work, just that they didn’t have to.

      Women worked fulltime, just unpaid. This is always forgotten. Household with multiple kids is not free time.

      So “women” didn’t have to work, but men had to, right? That’s the model you want back?

      You really haven’t noticed that you have this role model of the breadwinner as the man and the stay-at-home-mother deeply ingrained into your thinking, right?

      It’s in that response as well. That’s not an accusation, stuff like this is in everyone somewhere, it’s just good to challenge oneself on such matters.

        I’m not opposed to having a well-off working wife and being a stay at home dad, so all these accusations of mysogany when I’m just trying to talk about making work pay like it used to is rather tiresome.

        Yes, I wrote using a traditional family model as an example, sorry it triggered you so much.
