- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The rush to war in WW2 necessitated a female workforce. When you send all your able-bodied men off to fight a war on 2 fronts you need all that you can get, but someone still has to man the production lines for the tanks and whatnot.
Post WW2, alot of women kept on working, and families found great prosperity in having a dual earner household. However, 50's propaganda sought to bring the women back home, cooking meals and tending to their children. While alot of women bought into that way of thinking, alot more did not and continued to have careers.
These days women want it all and have the tendency to fail miserably in either their careers or family lives. I know many people that have their children raised by wet nurses and housekeepers...they wouldn't know their own mother's nipple if you stuck it in their mouths. I guess after all these centuries of not working outside the home they're still trying to find a decent balance. Personally I wish our economy and the corporations we work for allowed us enough income to let the wife stay home and raise the children. I know it sounds old fashioned but hey, it works. And for the women who don't want this lifestyle, fine, be single but don't have any kids, please. - deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1All the article talked about was old people. Are they saying that old women shouldn't retire?
- Adross, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Whoa, women used to be in the work force?

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Since the end of World War II and stretching to the start of the current millennium, the percentage of American women entering the labor force rose steadily, at a rate so fast that it offset the steady decline in participation by men."
That's an interesting way to spin the fact that women have often been given priority in the hiring process. This has been accompanied by a decline in wage rates since the end of WWII, partly because women generally don't negotiate salaries as high as men. - DuoPros, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Lolcakes.
