I Don't Need a Long Explanation

of why gender equality hasn't happened.

It's very simple why: Feminism, like all of the social movements of the sixties and seventies, was born of relatively prosperous times. Few people anticipated the rise of the traitorous and treacherous University of Chicago school of neoliberal economics, the philosophy of which undermines everything we used to hold dear in this country, most of all equality of opportunity. They have bought off our politicians, and now this country is headed to seemingly irreversible decline.

They used to round up and execute traitors, but now they have all kinds of influence despite the misery they have caused.

Now we will be lucky if we can just keep what we have instead all of us but the top one percent becoming equal slaves.

Feminists couldn't have predicted this; however, some of them still have their heads in the sand and are concerned with the problems of the one percent of households that are wealthy and concern themselves with ridiculous "issues" like job sharing and child care. To hell with the rest of us.

This piece is typical of the myopia. Who gives a shit when millions of people are on the ropes economically?

This response to her article makes me want to bang my head against the wall:

While paid maternity leave for all and improved daycare would certainly help, it is far from the only thing necessary for more equality in the workforce, or an American future that I want to be part of.

40 hour work-week enforced would help both sexes maintain a life worth living.
School hours that coincide better with work hours.
Schools that aren't begging for (female) volunteers because they don't have enough funding to teach
Career paths for people that take time off from full-time work, for any reason.
Couples that support each other in household/child care tasks.
STEM programs in every school, including single-sex STEM classes.
Policies that encourage marriage or joint parenting, rather than encouraging women to go-it-alone when their baby daddies take the easy route of abstaining from responsibility.
Less gov't bureaucracy at every level would free up time to take care of my family and serve my career. The time I've wasted figuring out taxes, 401k rules, SS rules, town permits, even parking ticket rules, is truly obscene, when my kids need help with homework, my husband with xyz and my job with deadlines. I want those hours back.

This is just a bunch of elitist shit. And by the way, teachers aren't your babysitters, so fuck that suggestion.
