This is not a personal issue.

Real wages have gone down 50% since the 1970s. One person used to provide enough for a family, now typically both partners go to work and it’s still “just enough”.

In the conservative 1960s, the woman’s rights movement would have never succeeded if it wasn’t backed by the media (big news), and we all know they’re owned by the rich. So what does the rich gain by making women go to work?

The labor market is a free market. It is regulated by supply and demand. If there’s higher supply in workers, wages go down. I’m worried that the women’s rights movement was allowed by the rich to increase supply of workers and bring down the wages.

    Do you have any evidence to support your claim that the media backed the women’s rights movement? I’ve seen clips of people in the media being very critical of bra burnings from that period.
