what I’m criticising is the SOCIETY that forces women to put tiny babies in daycare while they work to pay the rent. It’s wrong, and our society would be far better if we didn’t do it.
the post-WWII era US economy, from approximately 1940-1990, was a glorious half-century of mostly single income households where men could earn enough that their wives could afford to stay home and raise the kids.
I was raised in a single-income household, and so were most of my friends. We lived in nice houses on 3/4-acre plots in the suburbs, and our moms were full-time homemakers - it was considered a legitimate profession. My mom had a college degree and worked before having kids. After, she stayed home, cooked, cleaned, sewed, knitted, shopped, did the taxes, the budget, the yardwork, the laundry. It was fucking glorious. My mom and most of her contemporaries were professional cooks and nutritionists. Me and my friends ate *right,* lemme tell you: homemade fried chicken, soups, pies, casseroles, bread.
That lifestyle is all but extinct now. It's a goddamn tragedy. It's all but an offense against nature. The world economy has been so utterly fucked by globohomo multinationals who want us all dwelling in plebe cubes with no possessions, we're basically living in a modern feudal system.
