I'm not quite sure what you're saying regarding career women being saddled with a heavy load of domestic work as well. You immediately follow that with a statement about American policies in general.
Were you implying that the division of domestic workload between husbands and wives should be treated as a matter of government policy?
- Mz 10y agoI am not politically oriented, but I was a homemaker and full time mom for a long time. To my mind, child bearing, child rearing and "women's work" generally are not readily and easily separable. I believe it makes more sense to treat women as, in a sense, handicapped (in the way that word gets used in horse racing: carrying extra weight) and help them carry that load. This has a better track record of getting more paritable outcomes than the American approach to this problem space. I am interested in culture, not politics per se. But political policy grows out of culture. So if American culture changes in this regard, policy changes are likely to follow. But I do not have a political agenda per se.
