Women would not "need" Maternity Leave if they'd stay in the home and been a Home Maker, tending to the house, children, and her husband.

This is not bullshitting either when I say this. If the 100% majority of women all decided at the same time to up & quit their jobs & even their successful businesses, with absolutely zero intentions to return, leaving only men to take up those jobs and successful businesses, wages would go up incredibly, even for minimum wage jobs working at a grocery store just bagging groceries you would likely see your wage go up to something like $21 per hour, and that's not an exaggeration. Women who decided to quit working and decided to go back to taking on a Home Maker role & learned Home Economic skills instead, would definitely seek those men as marriage material. Those same women are just as co-dependent in the work place as they ever were when they used to apply themselves as Home Makers -- Feminism lied to them, they are definitely neither independent, nor are they empowered, they still seek companionship, co-dependence, and empowerment -- they lost their empowerment the moment they decided to give Feminism and getting a job a try. They're more miserable having a job than they ever were as a Home Maker.

It’s not even about wages increasing at such rates, rather the impact on cost of living. If single income families are the standard then a home will be affordable on a single income, but if even a relatively small percentage of couples are double income then the price of houses increases sharply which then forces many women who would rather stay at home into the workplace in order to compete with the double income families for necessities like housing. Same principle applies to most necessities and quite a few luxuries.

If there were less single moms, you'd have bigger families sharing a home too. Which means less demand for homes and lower prices.

I think some women who grew up with divorced parents are afraid to depend on a man. Women are way more neurotic and afraid than men, and many of them fear being left out in the cold. Divorce is too easy and too socially acceptable. Then there are social safety nets making it possible to raise kids (barely) in a single parent family, and women actually do this rather than stay married. If the tax deduction for kids were actually reasonable compared to what it costs to raise them, I think more women would stay home. Just some random thoughts.

Yes, I think that Christians ought to band together into communities to share child bearing costs.

Does China have a law against firing pregnant or married women? I'd bet money that married women get fired if they employer thinks she's trying to have her baby. And Chinese bosses likely would tell you to "abort your baby and get back to work you whore".
