If employment outside the home is "liberation" why are so many people on welfare?
Feminists have promoted the theory for the last 40 plus years that its "oppression" for a woman to be a full time homemaker and mother; they claim that being employed is some sort of "liberation." They, of course, never explain exactly HOW this is "oppression" or more importantly how having a job outside the home is "liberation."
In fact, on its face, the idea is actually quite bizarre. Getting up every day, fighting traffic to trapse off to bust your ass for some capitalist pig and put up with all the stress, office politics, and other non-sense, then fight traffic again to come home and, for many women, then do double duty taking care of home and children the rest of the evening, with the thrilling prospect of getting up and doing it all over again the next day and the next day after that ad nauseum. Men, in the main, have never viewed employment as "liberation."
As further proof that this basic feminist tenet is unnatural for huge numbers of people why do welfare rolls keep increasing? Oh sure, the economic leftist will claim its because of need, and in a few cases it might be, but there are probably tens of millions of people who work the system so they don't have to work outside the home, many of them women who would rather stay home and be full time moms.
