How is "sacrificing" yourself for capitalism more liberating than taking care of your kids and family?
- doombolt 8y agoBecause you can now have your own means of survival as opposed to depending on someone other (such as "state" or "husband") and possibly being booted from time to time from that dependence together with children.
- aicantar 8y agoWomen's liberation is about choice, not about "acting like men". Not everyone wants to have kids and family. Some will work, some will stay at home. Same goes for men btw.
- isostatic 8y agoIn the UK it's very hard to have one parent stay at home - to pay the mortgage you usually need two full time to cover the mortgage. Child care is subsidised heavily by other taxpayers, but only government childcare - get a grandparent round and there's no tax break. The tax system works hard to discriminate against single parent families too (two people with two kids on total £80k pay a marginal tax of 32%. One person on £55k pays marginal 60%)
