2 thoughts on “Real Americans Need To Build Families, Reproduce”
Thank you modern feminists. This threat has been feared since the day the movement began (even in the 1800s!) and when the federal government began subsidizing and granting tax breaks for child care, it put some of the load on traditional families trying to make do with one teacher’s salary. I know my wife and I struggled for years in the 1970s on one income, quite close to the poverty level, really, so we could have our kids in the home with their mother — but at the same time we were paying taxes for my militant female colleagues who tossed their kids into cheap day care. Or they asked my wife to look after them from time to time and in turn would be very casual about picking them up on schedule — “so sorry, I had all this work to do . . .” We will not get back to having real families again until (a) young people give up the idea that they are supposed to have everything NOW and (b) women put raising a family ahead of their careers. The other prediction early critics of the feminist movement made were that not only would families suffer, but men, deprived of their traditional roles as providers, would evolve into dilletantes and childish, irresponsible brutes. And they also predicted a rise in LGBTQ behaviors. Nobody listened.
The Civil Rights Act gave equal pay to women. Relatively few are aware of this aspect. That destroyed the concept of the “family wage” previously paid to men that could support a family. Obviously, there were various agendas behind this change.
But this is the responsibility of young women rapt with feminism. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Thanks, W.E., for some great comments.
