In other jurisdictions, I see people fighting against
subsidized day care because (a) young children should be at home with their parents and (b) other people should have to save and pay full price for day care just like they did.
This second stage informs us that we can indeed have it all, not
because all good things in life can be bad simultaneously (they can not), nor
because our newly enlightened husbands will leap into the domestic breach (which Friedan agrees they won't), but
because the government will make our bosses give us unpaid maternity leave and
subsidized day -
care slots.
