I really appreciated that he dispersed the blame equally between men and women when it comes to the proliferation of day cares and working women.
It irritates me when people who ostensibly want to help women go on and on about married women "leaving their families" to work outside the home as if they do this kind of thing in a vacuum or a fit of feminist rebellion. As if we don't know that a significant percentage are obeying their husbands.
But it's easier to put all the blame on evil feminist women more than feminist men.
Well, don't you know that men are actually just passive victims of society?:)
Seriously though, in my experience it's first, the desire to maintain a certain lifestyle, and it could be the husband, or the wife, or both who demand it; but there is a group of women out there who are exactly the type which is being decried by those bloggers. On the other hand, their husbands don't seem to mind, that is, they totally lack a backbone, so again, both are to blame.
