Hey guys, welcome to the show. Today I want to take a look at a New York Times article that once again denigrates motherhood and mothers and the family as well.

And I mean, this is a common, very common theme

in the New York Times. There's at least one if not three or four

articles that demean women that denigrate women and the family and that have a

feminist, very strong feminists undertone,

if not just a tone or overtone.

And these ideas have consequences and it's you know we see the consequences all around us which I'll get to later

Also next week I think I'm gonna do an episode. It might be two-parter because there's a lot to cover, but I want to do the history, get into the history of the feminist movement and see how we got to where we are and culture. But the title of the article today is

subtitle is a lack of child care and elder care options

has forced some women to limit their hours

or sideline them altogether,

hurting their career prospects.

Now, before I get into the article, I just want to make a disclaimer.

I'm not saying that women shouldn't work or that mothers shouldn't work,

but it has now become the default position of our society and our culture that if a woman or a mother doesn't work, she's seen as somehow less than, or she's seen as some sort of anachronism, or, you know, someone to be pitied.

And that's what, just when I read these articles, it just upsets me. So I want to get into this piece. It was written by

three people and it came out I think think, a week ago, or a week or two ago, but I just, I read, you know, I read these articles in the New York Times and they just flabbergast.
