  Yeah and “we can do it,” until the men come back home and take the jobs back.

    Reminds me a of a joke “Why do people in North Dakota spend so much time at the bar?

    Because Colonel Custer told them to hang out there until he got back.”

      Equality achieved in mid 90s. (adjusting for voluntary life choices of parenting full time) Much more men than women dropped out of labour force since.

        Well, technically, it was never equal numbers and the gap between has remained the same, but you could argue that maternity and also elderly gender disparity contribute to that.

      To explain your downvotes.

      Women were encouraged to join the work force on top of all of the parenting/wifely duties they were saddled with for generations. This was a lot of work, but it also provided a glimpse into financial independence and equal placement in the workplace for the first time.

      But when the war was over, women were encouraged to jump right back into the kitchen.

      should men returning from war not be entitled to their job back

      There are many jobs that need to be done to make society work. There are plenty of jobs at home that they could have taken.

        I feel as if that’s kind of fair given that the men were the ones who had to die without any choice in the matter, no?
