Second if all you see in what I wrote is that I think daycare is the only thing then you missed my point entirely. In fact you missed entire sentences such as this one <blockquote>They do not support good strong social foundations that would allow women to stay home and raise their children should they so choose</blockquote> or the one which speaks to mat/pat leave. Perhaps a secondary perusal of the post is in order so you can actually --you know--READ it.

So much of this devolves down to simplistic and erroneous assumptions of feminists being anti-child and anti-family." I'm not debating the good of feminism. I'm asking if day care is the only and best way to give women the ability to earn a pension, or attain financial security for their family. The assumption by yourself appears to be that daycare is the only way. I think there are other ways, such as stay-at-home dads, government pensions for stay-at-home parents, government sponsored in-home nannies and day cares that meet demands, and probably dozens of other little things I haven't heard or dreamed of. And I don't think feminism is anti-child or anti-family, only a Luddite who knows nothing of history would think that. “with Sask dumping again on women’s issues.
