That me start by stating that women deserve an equal place in the workforce, and everywhere. That being said, we've ended up at a destination that wasn't intended. How is it that families before the 1980s could survive on a single salary and make a comfortable life for themselves, while we now struggle to make ends meet with 2 incomes. The fight for equality allowed corporations to half our purchasing power and we have done nothing. Parents shouldn't both have to work 40 hours a week until they die to feed and house their children.
