I've seen some discussion lately claiming that feminism and female-first schooling was designed to get women out of the house and into the workplace so their work could be taxed.
I can't say I really believe it or not, but this theory explains why the state would be pushing the idea so hard.
- reilly3000 4y agoThere’s certainly a long history of women’s education but it’s historically been the realm of the wealthy. I do think there is something to do with real wage growth stagnation and women in the workforce. By dramatically increasing the labor pool, wages have been essentially divided, forcing families into requiring dual incomes to have the same spending power.
- wizofaus 4y ago"so their work could be taxed"...that makes no sense to me, what would be the advantage? Taxation itself doesn't magically "generate" wealth that could be used to help pay for the cost of government (which is only likely to increase as more women take up paid work outside the home).
