> with the burdens falling most heavily on women
I mean, is this not true? My understanding is US provides relatively little child support, ensuring that burden has to fall on someone. Isn't that usually the mother?
- jimbokun 2y agoWhy is spending time caring for your child a "burden", but having to go work for a profit driven corporation is not? Shouldn't we be giving parents (mothers AND fathers) more flexibility and freedom to choose to spend time with their children? Progressives almost always emphasize support for care outside the home and pushing to keep more parents in the corporate work force, and very little about supporting parents caring for their children inside the home. (And don't get me started on the Republicans. I am well aware they did not support extending the Child Tax Credit, while continuing to claim it was the Democrats who aren't supporting families with children.)
