(53,866 posts)that soccer moms do and therefore holding them up to that standard is absurd
i think one problem with american egalitarianism is the belief that we can all do everything to the capacity of those who have money. it's just simply not true.
i can feed my cats wellness because i can afford it, but i need to recognize that poorer people have the right to pets and if friskies is all they can afford, it doesn't make them bad pet owners. that pet would be far worse off in a shelter.
edited to add: i know a child is not a pet but the analogy is that much more intense for children. whether elites like it or not, the poor have a right to have kids. these kids (unless they are literally being tortured/drugged or exposed to extreme danger) are better of with their parents than in foster care etc.
