And I'm just a throwback who wishes Steinem and the rest could have actually given us a choice. I don't have a choice anymore.
With so many women in the workforce, a job that one man used to do for $100,000.00/ yr is now being done by 4 people at $25,000.00. The conglomerate CEO's aren't going to take any pay cuts with the government telling them to ADD JOBS TO GET TAX CUTS! They take the tax cut, and offer four jobs at $25k instead of one at $100K- they also wind up paying less employer taxes by employing more people in lower tax brackets.
So where is my choce? Yes, I'm divorced. But when I was married I didn't get to stay home, keep house, raise my own child. NO, I had to work full time, keep house, and let some daycare facility raise my son because my husband didn't make enough.
You watch, we'll be included in the draft soon enough.
But I really bristle (in a no, you're not hurting my personal feelings, kind of way) that you suggest we get what we want...
Just being "in a debatable mood" sunny10- no offense meant.
