The other night someone on TV said that economy has been going south since the late 60s. And you know what, I think they are right. Here is what I think, save your stones until you hear me out.
I think Women’s Lib and no fault divorce ruined the economy. Most of you who read this, if anyone does, does not remember what life was like before the bra burning began. That is sad.
When I was a kid we had one car. Everyone on our street had one car. Every mom stayed home except one. She worked in a typical “woman’s” job. Of all the people we knew, only ONE family had suffered a divorce. We all lived happy lives were we could play on the street and walk to school and visit our friends blocks and blocks away.
Our Dads went to work, most of our stores were in the neighborhood, if we needed to shop we went into town to the Penny’s.
In Georgia my Aunt worked at the Mill with my Uncle. The older children watched the younger. On Saturdays they went into town and shopped for the weeks groceries.
Our parents, you know, the Greatest Generation, spoiled us terribly. They had lived through the Depression and did not want us to suffer like they did, we baby boomers were to not want. We would have education so we did not have to work at blue collar dead end jobs. Even their daughters could go to college and even be president. Opps…that has no worked out yet, has it.
Then the bra burners on our college campuses, you know those illustrious bastions of truth, decided that women were not happy. They needed to go to work. They did not care that maybe some of were happy being stay at home mom’s. And then they started taking over the world. If anyone said anything against them then they were male chauvinist pigs. Even us women.
Now that Mom was at work, the family needed two cars. And child care. And a bigger home to make up for the fact that mom was not at home. The job mom took was from some other family’s dad. But then it was ok, because as the family got more money consumership increased and so more jobs were made to keep up with the demand. (Capitalism?)
Funny how the service industry never got out of the old school ways. Most professional services are open still from 9-5, even banks. They are still living in the early 60s. So now Mom or Dad have to take a day off from work if they have to take their little one to the doctor, or wait in a giant line with all the other working parents at the late night doctor. You know, the one who stays open till 9pm. Worse yet they send their sick kid to school and we all get sick.
Now everyone was working, and you know what happens when you work long hours away from your family, you are tired when you get home and you are dissatisfied. So you get a divorce. Then you have a family that used to have one car in one house in a safe neighborhood, moving to a second home, and maybe in a not so safe neighborhood. Dads are working to pay child support or they are just not paying and Moms are having to work longer hours. Then you have latch key kids. And the crime ratio goes up. Bored kids sitting at home alone for hours – they look for something to take care of that boredom.
The Yuppies then come along and it becomes trendy for mom to stay at home again. But by now those neighborhoods are all spread apart and nowhere is safe. So we still need two cars, only Mom needs a big car to hold the kids and the carpool. The house is further away from dads work, you know, to get away from the inner city, so Dad is driving miles and miles to and from work and mom is driving her kids all over in her giant car. But mom gets bored so she opens boutique stores to make a little money. And you know they now need an even larger house. So dad has to work even longer and he has an affair, or bored mom does and then they get a divorce and the cycle repeats.
Suddenly it all catches up to us, because the bra burners NOW are into the Green movement. They make so much noise that the car dealers are forced every year to retool their plants to meet environmental requirements. Blue collar workers lose their jobs because unions price them into oblivion. No one has the money to buy the glut of cars that there is so the car companies go bankrupt. There are way too many houses and no one can afford them. Houses are sold to people who have no stake (down payment) in the home. And the families now wanted larger and larger homes, McMansions if you will. Oh my, did that make those bra burners mad! Women were supposed to become enlightened and not need men, the family was suppose to be everyone. Not mom, dad & two kids. It was suppose to be whatever you imagined. Men were supposed to be obsolete. What happened to their plan.
In fact, the bra burners no longer care about women’s rights, because if a woman does NOT support their party they will turn their back on her and even campaign against her.
The bra burners ruined the economy, yes they did. If a mom stays at home now doing the noblest job of all, raising her children, she is constantly made to feel guilty for not working. Let’s live with less. Let’s have safe small communities again, where everyone knows everyone. You remember, if you did something wrong two blocks away, the person who saw you knew where you lived and told on you. It will take a long time. The bra burners have been ruining our country for 40 years now. They are still fighting to kill babies without a thought, they support the right for the pregnant woman to have a say what happens to her body. I think she had that say before she got pregnant. (Not talking about rape, illness, etc. but I still do not condone abortion in those circumstances either.)
Put your bra on ladies. Stand up for your family and your country. I know a lot of young SAHMs who are making it, I made it, it can be done. Clip your coupons, take care of your kids and show those bra burners that they are done ruling and ruining America. And Mom, if you have to work, do not feel guilty, just remember it was the bra burners who got you in this situation. They look for every way they can to destroy life as we love it. You read about them everyday…be diligent…save the country and the family for your kids.
You may cast your stones now if you will.
