I do think that one of the most important things to come out of the feminist movement was the ability for women to get a job even when married, and in positions other than teacher, nurse or secretary. As your experience illustrates, sometimes life throws you a curve ball and it’s good to be prepared with skills and a work history if that does happen.

I think of this too. Women in history were many times left to ruination and poverty if they lost their husbands. How is that upholding the dignity of women to give them no means to survive and destitution their only option with no man in the picture? There is a balance that needs to be had. I think our current culture where women can work part time or out of the home is fantastic for this.
Agree!! And I personally think that is one reason why prostitution has existed for so long. Women who didn’t have a man to support them had very few options and that was sometimes what they had to do to survive 😕 I’m also glad women have more options today. The internet has actually been a huge boon imo since it can give workers a lot more flexibility.
Yes, I think that’s a fair point. What do they have left to sell but the use of their body? Especially if it meant food for their children. And then they are derided by society for being prostitutes…except for Jesus…

Agreed. I’m thankful for that aspect.
