Potential roll back on womens rights

Terrifying. It's women should stay at home, have babies, cook and clean for their husbands, and not have jobs. Scary. Probably put a tax if you get vaccinated to discourage that too.

Just thinking that with increasingly young people can't afford to buy their own houses and might be staying with parents till into their 30's? Kids are expensive, so if you have to have them before you can get a place to live? 

I think that sharing is normal way to rent now. Ownership is mostly down to job security and borrowing. None of it is really sustainable if the system stays the same because of the sheer numbers of people wanting to live in cities everything gets more expensive.

I'm sure people are having fewer children for a variety of reasons, they can't aford anywhere to live away from their parents, they may not be able to live with their partner due to lack of space at their parents houses, The parents may not want their adult children having children of their own all under the same roof.

Some choose not to have children, some desperately want children but can't have them for a variety of reasons.

Reform also want to bring fault back into divorce to make it harder and trap people in unhappy or even dangerous marriages. They want to bring back married couples tax allowance too, I wonder if the father wishes to stay at home and look after the children if the tax allowance would go to the working mother?

I wonder how they intend to make men pay their fair share? I've known so many women who've split up from their male partners because they don't really contribute, they're actually a drain on the family resourses. I've known so many women who work full time, have school age children they care for and do all the home care, whilst the man often earns more but contributes little, especially with daily life, like cooking, cleaning and child care duties, keeping up with school. The men who are oblivious to thier childrens need for new shoes and school uniforms, but are quite happy to buy the latest big screen tv or games console. These are not men, they're big children!

Why should women look harder for male partners, why shouldn't men take a look at themselves and think about how they can make themselves a more attractive long term partner?

TheCatWoman You created this contentious thread, but watching quietly!!

I'm not really that interested in politics.

Obviously I'm not emotionally invested in the same way, and don't have the same drivers to have children. But I understand the time pressures are real.

I feel sense on injustice, more generally because there are people who do not consider others take advantage and move in. This is what I am observing everywhere.  Its an abuse of rights, people trying to take advantage of laws for their own benefit. I don't see societal systems and laws as there to be excercised by individuals in a rightous position to use for monetary gains, laws are there to protect us all. Imagine how efficient things would be if noone was able take advantage like this. 

I also read that more women are having a career and leaving having kids till later. Obviously Reform want to punish women for wanting to have lives.

I cannot put into words my revulsion for people who believe they have a right to dictate how others live their lives. 

EDIT: This wasn't an attack on you, incase it came out as that, I get caught up in feeling injustice for things like this and tend to go into rant mode.
