i’d give you half an upvote and half a downvote because you get some things but miss others.
Also, who wants loose liberal women everywhere?
I want.
A lot of women these days realize that their grandmothers had a lot less pressure and a lot more freedom.
Surely times were less stressful if you had fewer responsibilities like work or education. What i regret deeply is that feminism didn’t offer women the choice to work and study, but instead it made it mandatory. You can’t choose whether you want to work today or not; you simply have to. It replaced one kind of oppression (being forbidden from working and studying) with another (being forbidden from not working and studying).
Where a guy can get an entry level position and make enough to support his family on that single income. Why did that stop?
It stopped because companies don’t have as much demand for human labor anymore, because a lot of tasks have become automated and don’t require humans to do them anymore. As a consequence, there’s less demand for human labor. Now, if you’re familiar with the basics of how markets work, you’ll have heard about the rule of supply and demand. If there’s less demand for human labor, that means the price for that labor (a.k.a. wages) are gonna decrease. And that’s exactly what’s happening today: wages have decreased significantly since the 1970s.
I don’t think wages are gonna go up ever again, TBH, because demand for human labor is mostly caused by growth, and there’s no healthy way the economy can grow on Earth anymore. Except if you develop spaceflight and fly to mars, where there’d probably be a lot of demand for human labor. But that’s another story.
