My generation (boomers) had lots of moms staying home, but very modest homes with family rich activities. That's changed...

What has gotten worse, is that when the work force, or public duty is take up by women in leadership roles, the backlash is to demonize women.

Women today have to pick up the work force, just like they've been picking up and keeping things together for years. They shouldn't be demonized.
