An Interesting Side Note Concerning the “Bloodbath” of Job Losses at Work Women Choosing the Better Portion

This week has been a tough one at work. For many people Tuesday was their last day. Last night was the last day for others and today will be the last day for many people I’ve worked with or for over the last six years who were either let go or had to leave because they can’t work a morning shift.

There are a ton of Hispanic people leaving many in management positions who had worked their way up since coming to this country though solid effort and I suspect that they are going to express their displeasure at losing their position at the ballot box when the time comes.

But I want to focus on two ladies in particular, both are young one married under 4 years with one son under two and other other married a bit longer with several children. Both were management and got separation packages that will hold them over for a few months at least.

I spoke to each of them and unlike several of the men who are rushing to get interviews they have decided they are going to spend their newly free time at home with their kids.

This is likely a good move, particularly for the younger mother. You can always get another job even if it’s one below the standard of living that you’re used to but the time with your children when they’re young comes once and the ability to not only share it with your children but to shape them in the image you wish rather than where today’s society wants to lead them is the single most important task a parent has.

Of course once the severance is used up decisions will have to be made but it will be interesting to discover if the benefits of a 2nd solid full time pay in the house trumps domestic life once they get a taste of it. Will need force them back into the workforce, will the economy take a turn after the election and they find themselves suddenly solicited by the company that let them go?

Or will they decide that the value and rewards of being a mother at home for their children is worth the financial sacrifices necessary to continue in that role?

I likely won’t know what choice they will make as I rarely see them outside of work, but it would be fun and fascinating to find out.

The ultimate example of cause and effect

Casey Fiano explains the facts of life to a generation of mothers who were so positive that they knew better than their parents they they retained that belief even after they left their teenage years:

One culprit for why girls are so hyper-sexualized these days can be traced right back to the extreme sex education being taught in our schools, with the charge being led by femisogynists to keep the sex ed coming. Girls have been taught by the adults in their lives to embrace their sexuality, have been lovingly encouraged to explore their sex lives in new and innovative ways. The feminist extremists gush about the brilliance of giving their daughters vibrators, they teach middle schoolers how to have good sex. Planned Parenthood distributes sexually explicit brochures to Girl Scouts and teach 10-year-olds about anal sex. Children are inundated about sex from extremely young ages about sex, something that the femisogynists encourage, and yet they can’t understand why teenage girls are sleeping around?

And mom’s if you were counting on us parents of boys to hold them back, you sure have high expectations. Those teenage boys and twenty something men are naturally hardwired toward the goal of scoring. Do you realize how hard it is for responsible parents to teach their sons to hold off be respectful when the message from the girls at school is “Get it Here!”?

You did this to yourselves. I have sympathy for your daughters but I have a very hard time having sympathy for you. You wanted to fight the culture wars to get rid of “puritanical” standards of your parents and church. Congratulations you won! Enjoy your prize!

I’ll include you and your children in my prayers.
