Young women today blaming feminism for the evils of capitalism… i want you to have time to pick berries as well but that’s not on women in the 70s for wanting to have a life independent of their husbands

Not only this, I’ve seen people blame the 2nd wave feminist movement for stagnating wages. They claim that, because women entered and saturated the workforce, employers can get away with paying everyone less. Not everyone comes out and says the quiet part out loud, but a lot of these arguments have the obvious implication of “things were better when the workforce was mostly men and women were just homemakers.”
Like not only is this historically inaccurate (poor women and many women of color have always had to work outside the home, for one), it’s so victim-blamey. Instead of getting angry at the corporations who keep making more and more record profits every year while continuing to underpay their employees, let’s get angry at women fighting for and achieving financial independence.
