Providing social support that enables mothers to work outside the home is not the same as paying them to stay home. Social support enables parents to have more flexible gender roles.  Wages for housework freezes gender roles as they were thirty years ago.
   These are important distinctions! Millions favor some kind of social
support for child raising--subsidized day care, after school programs,
paid parental leave, "family friendly" work places etc.  NOBODY supports
wages for housework. Why don't you ask youself why that is?

Seems we cannot get away from the idea social support for child rearing --
known at some times and places as wages for housework.
