I'm from a blue class family in a non-affluent area and I could already read going into Kindergarten because my mom spent a lot of time reading with me before I got to school. This was 25+ years ago.
- drivebyhooting 1y agoYou touch upon an issue near to my heart but I am loathe to utter it: women in workforce is robbing our children and country of a future. Disagree if you will.
- tayo42 1y agoYou probably get disagreement becasue your focused on one gender. No reason why we can't have stay at home dads. Unless you think that men can't be good caretakers or something about it being a women's job, then good luck, your on your own lol
- drivebyhooting 1y agoMen are pretty bad at breast feeding or carrying a pregnancy.
- tayo42 1y agoYou can formula feed or feed with pumped milk. Father's are capable of feeding children.
- drivebyhooting 1y agoFormula is not as nutritious as human breast milk. Bottle feeding leads to long lasting anatomical changes. You can look at the research confirming these uncomfortable and inconvenient truths.
- bdhe 1y agoWhat are the long lasting anatomical changes? Would love to learn more because my kids were bottle fed.
- drivebyhooting 1y agoNarrowing of jaws, airway, and higher change of sleep apnea into adulthood. You can see the difference even as a lay person.
- fzeroracer 1y agoThis is false.
- ribosometronome 1y agoWhooaa! You're going to give people whiplash with how quickly you're changing what's being discussed. Men are perfectly capable of reading to kids! That you use things men are perfectly able to do, rather than the things they're not, as justification for why women should not be in the workplace makes me think you're not nearly so loathe to utter it as you say.
- drivebyhooting 1y agoI was responding to someone claiming dads are just as good caretakers as moms. Clearly false.
- ribosometronome 1y agoRelitigating what's always been said seem like a waste of everyone's time, especially when you're already going to ignore the context in which you're having a discussion.
- drivebyhooting 1y agoI have no idea what you’re saying. You could interact with the claims made instead of making a meta point using corporate speak.
- Fraterkes 1y agoYou are being intellectually dishonest. What do carrying pregnancy and breastfeeding have to do with caring for a kindergarten age child?
- drivebyhooting 1y ago1. Younger siblings 2. Spending enough time to teach reading and arithmetic BEFORE kindergarten. So actually in this sub thread the relevant age is 0 to 5.

- charlie90 1y agowomen are better than men at housekeeping and raising children. why do women take this as an insult? its a compliment.
- Fraterkes 1y agoI take it as an insult as a guy! Theres nothing in my gender that precludes me from being as good at housekeeping (cleaning, cooking). Unscientific drivel!
- drivebyhooting 1y agoI never mentioned housekeeping.

- Fraterkes 1y agoWhat do you mean? Fathers can teach their kids to read too right? In what sense are mothers specifically at fault?
