I mean, maybe, but we have to acknowledge that women were deliberately kept out of the labor force as a means of oppressing them. It's a lot easier to abuse women when they're not financially free.

It's a tricky problem space because it's tempting to just say "fuck it" and roll back the clock. But I don't think that'll work, because inevitably we'll just re-develop and we're back at square one.

We need novel solutions that incentivize women to have children without pushing them into situations where they can be taken advantage of.




What we have now obviously isn't working. If we don't fix it the people who do just say "fuck it" will be the ones who decide how things work in the future and so far they've rolled it much farther back than all but the most extreme people would want.
