Tiny phone kb I'd be ranting with you. They're wanting to strip us back to 1940s women. No rights no freedom no choices. Saw this coming years ago when we were getting dissed about screaming about abortion rights. They want us in our chadors and they wont be happy until every female is attached to a man somehow... father brother or husband.

But it takes 2+ salaries these days to support a family, and you can believe they're not going to change that formula soon!
