Yeah maybe I should have worded this better. "Forcing (potential) mothers to have a job" would probably have been more clear.

Who is forcing them? Women want financial independence, for obvious reasons.

[steve1977]

For many women, it's not about financial independence, but about surviving as a family.

[lotsofpulp]

Seems like you are claiming women being part of the formal economy is exploitation, and preventing women from being part of the formal economy is exploitation?

> Who is forcing them?

The alternative being horrible.

[lotsofpulp]

What alternative? Are you suggesting society give women financial independence without them having to work?

[oblio]

The alternative to women having financial independence is them being dependent financially on men.

I'm a guy and I'd never want that if I were a woman.
