Thanks again for featuring Jess Calarco, particularly at this election moment when priorities are being discussed.
I appreciate that you articulated what Calarco wrote about the corporate mindset of "needing cogs in the wheel," where overwhelmed mothers take any job and children, deprived of opportunity, take the jobs no one wants. It's a dark thought, but important to make conscious.
This! This is what’ve want the candidates and policy makers and pundits to acknowledge !
“Motherhood is not the only root of exploitation, but in the absence of paid family leave and in the absence of affordable childcare, motherhood can very easily become a trap.”
Every time I hear some dude in the media talk about “the weird discourse on gender” in this election like it’s all just abstract rhetorical game play, I want to scream.
