Prior to WW2, the family only required one income to survive, as long as work was found of course...then in the 50s woman went out to provide the luxuries but usually part time and the children thrived....now, one income will not support a family and woman are forced away from their children and most to menial demeaning jobs..sure there are the exceptions but many are just slaves to greedy corporations...main question:...were woman set up to increase the workforce and with disastrous results for our the children?...and were the perpetrators of this supported by the woman's movements...were woman duped?

Well years ago we had gardens and maybe raised our own meat, and it's the luxuries that have caused the major poverty , people see other people get things and they just have to have it. look around most anyone house and you will see an abundance of( things ) People actually build storage sheds to house their things. And have hugh yard sales , with so much that it boggles the mine as to how they ever got it inside their homes.
Were the woman duped?? They were brain washed into thinking that material possessions would make them happy. Well, do you think they are happy ?? think about it. Sorry, I ranted but I see people every day that complain that they can't afford to pay for their necessities , yet , their house is full of things that you can't wear, eat, or keep yourself warm with. It's all in their Priority's.

I am not sure, but it is likely that the main breadwinner of the family worked for longer hours than people do nowadays. Also, luxury has certainly increased, with more people willing to work to pay for digital cable tv, instead of borrowing books from the library for free for example.

Fewer things to buy then. Today electronic devices alone require a second income. And kids feel deprived if they don't have EVERYTHING.

I think most people enjoy working nowadays why wouldn't someone want to have their own career to fall back on in case they decide they want a divorce?
