The housewife as pariah

Article Abstract:

By undermining the support a non-working mother and wife could hope to receive, feminists force all women to pursue career advancement, assuming they all share the belief that housewives are miserable even if they do not realize it. No-fault divorce leaves women with little option but to pursue some livelihood. The increase in working women also lowers males' wages. This furthers the feminist goal of equality in economic and political power by forcing women who would be happy as housewives to bring home a second income for their families.

Ozzie and Harriet had it right

Article Abstract:

Ozzie and Harriet exemplify all that is right with the typical family unit. Such a family setting provides for a mini-justice system without the burden of due process, as the parents know who did it and act accordingly. The inescapability of the family in Ozzie and Harriet's time also forced the resolution of problems to take place. It is now recognized that non-traditional families are not as effective, and public policy should change accordingly. Getting rid of no-fault divorces would be a good first step.

Feminism, children and the family

Article Abstract:

The focus on equality with men espoused by feminists has hurt children. Because child-rearing conflicts with career advancement, children are one of the main reasons inequality between men and women existed in the first place. Rather than recognize this, at least in public, feminists instead discuss career opportunities and talk of the housewife as a slave. This stigmatizes motherhood and has helped speed the disintegration of family life.
