@ChrisMayLA6 Why do we think that the mothers of young children *ought* to work in jobs outside the home, *ought* to depend on the capitalist economy for their income?
Yes, there's a case for a gendered approach; yes, we should be asymmetrically supporting mothers, because it is mothers who overwhelmingly do do childcare.
But at least for those mothers who choose to spend time with their own young children, should we not be providing them with socialised income to do just that?
