Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? was an expression that was supposed to be sexist. So maybe it is sexist. That doesn’t make it untrue. Now that over half the country is unmarried and women are on the bottom of the socio-economic ladder as unmarrieds, they want the government to do something about wages and the cost of healthcare. What about the government doing something like printing placards that say, Work harder and earn more money to afford those things on your own! or Go to school to learn a more financially rewarding career? Women wanted equal opportunity. They got it and they don’t like it.
Equal opportunity also came with equal hard work. Now unmarried women want the government to make it unequal, and force married couples and successful men to support them through taxation, or “Do something about wages!” There’s never an explanation of what, exactly, the government is supposed to do about wages. Married women aren’t having issues with wages and they’re employed in the workforce, same as their unmarried peers. Sucks to be treated equally, eh?
If men planned and plotted to get everything they wanted from women, without having any accountability or responsibility to get it, they couldn’t have dreamed up something better than 1970s feminism.
This has been a common theme in many of Mrs. du Toit's essays. She will be one of the first people to admit that men and women are different. Well, a lot of people might admit that, albeit behind closed doors. The difference with Mrs. du Toit, who shares this opinion with my wife, is that they're damned happy that men and women are different. More to the point, they don't want to be treated like a man, they want to be treated like a woman.
Anyways, go read. It's worth the time.
