our goals and ensure those goals high on the agenda. You can only change society if you are part of it and this can & historically it has been shown that class is where the real struggle is, in fact it has shaped all human history The dual burden is something that really concerns me, state sponsored childcare is a must, in fact I don't know why we don't demand it now or down tools I see life very differently here in Belgium where family is seen as more important than work, and the financial structure is set up to SUPPORT families - tax deductible childcare/cleaning etc/ free school from 2.5/tax allowances for children and non-working spouses/child benefit that increases the more children you have/equal parental leave etc Fucking scary taxes though. I SEE men going home early to collect their children from school, I see men working from home when their kids are sick. My office is deserted by 5pm. For all this, a much larger % of women don't work. I wonder why this is. Presumably the tax system means they don't have to, though the govt puts positive measures in place to ensure they can. A major factor in why DH and I both work is that it's more tax efficient to do so. I think we would even with transferable tax allowances as we both like our jobs, but the balance would be not quite so heavy on the 2x WOHP side. I do think attitude
