If most attached women went back to being homemakers would there be more jobs for men and less unsupervised kids forming gangs in our streets?

Possibly. Or it could just lead to more women being on welfare sitting around trying to figure out how to suck more out of the system, while they still don't know and/or don't care where their kids are. I think a lot of women aren't any better influence on their children than gang members from the streets, therein is where one of the problems lie.

Well, overall your question makes sense and I agree to it, but women are pretty integrated into the working class and we enjoy our independence and freedom. I wouldn't give that up for a few more jobs and "better" parenting. Oppression and not feeling like I'm accomplishing in life isn't really what I want out of my life, especially since I don't want children.

Well, if that happened, then decent women wouldn't have children with men who didn't have stable jobs. Then gangbangers wouldn't be getting any. Trust me, men will do whatever it takes. If being a "bad boy" improves your chances, even with all the risks, they'll be one. If working does it, they'll stay out of gangs. Women of the world, it's up to you, who will you reward?

I can hear Archie Bunker's theme song playing in the background as I read this question. There never were any "good old days". In today's economic conditions most families require at least two incomes to make ends meet. And who is to say that the "attached" women should stay home? Why not the men? +3

More jobs for men -- so many more that there wouldn't be enough people to fill them. . Fewer unsupervised kids forming gangs on the street? Who knows? . One hundred and sixty million human beings forced into a particular role in society solely to make you happy? . Yep. . I don't know anything about you, but I'd bet my very last penny that you're NOT a woman. I'm not a woman either, but I love people who are. . If this is a big deal to you, consider moving to Iran or Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia-- countries that will give you the power to "keep women in their place." . Just don't try it here on my mother, my aunts, my sister, my cousins or my nieces. You really wouldn't like what would happen next.

Yes! But, an attached man, who's lady could better support the family could become Mr Mom, with the same results!

In my opinion, ... YES! Well, that is assuming that the mothers cared enough to watch their children and the fathers aren't lazy.

I grew up in the 50's. My mother always worked to help make ends meet. All my friends grew up the same. None of us belonged to gangs or went to jail. The difference is our parents taught us respect for others and we, despite being on our own for most of the day, still sat down together for meals, worked, and played as a family unit. We were given chores and were responsible for seeing them through. Structure they call it now. Kids today don't seem to have structure.They either are totally on their own or have so many after school activities they don't function as family units. Parents are not taking the time to be parents. It's not up to the schools to raise your kids. It's up to you.
