When suddenly schools and daycares were shuttered, and it was dangerous to have non-family-members in your home, the facade of egalitarianism that lots of two-earner families enjoyed suddenly shattered. When it came down to it, lots of men simply decided, unilaterally, that their jobs mattered more, and lots of women were left frantically trying to figure out the rest of their family’s lives.

Wow- fantastic article! The libfem fantasy all of us were fed didn't come true and finally, mainstream writers and not 'just' radical feminists are talking about it.

Absolutely see why this was on substack- mainstream press outlets could NEVER dispense this much truth.

The kind of ‘lifestyle copy’ that passes for cultural analysis on the big sites is 🤮 They can hardly do otherwise, their big ad revenues come from industries that want us to remain sold on the marshmallow dream of having a family for women, rather than realise that it is frequently a nightmare to enter into.

Just got done being pregnant, fucking hated fighting off every doctor and their pelvic exams only to explain to my husband who could only sympathize and advocate for me. Its not just at home, it's not worth it for women anymore.

Great article! I just think having kids is a privilege. Not everyone can do it. Only people have the money and resources should be free to have kids. Like having a housekeeper and a nanny costs money. Otherwise, you are just producing kids with unhealthy behaviours and get yourself harmed in the process mentally, physically and emotionally.
