I'm no right winger but maybe there's so something to the idea of properly recognising and compensating reproductive labour for increasing birth rates?
If it counted towards GDP, you had enough to live on and your pension wasn't buggered up by doing it, maybe more people (mostly women), would want to raise more children.
As in, the economy structured around generation rather than extraction, but I don't see Labour or Conservatives going for it. There would need to be huge shock to the system and basically no choice for it to happen.
I'm in agreement with Julie Bindel on this and totally at odds with the position of right wing populists. Working across the political divide is great when it works. However, seeing women, active in LWS, sticking up for racist thugs and cheering on the rioters who terrified totally innocent women, children and men, is beyond the pale. It reminds me of the old adage, 'if you lie down with dogs, you get fleas'.
It was in fact feminists who first floated the idea that women should be compensated for keeping a home and raising children in the 1970s and 80s. The slogan was, "Wages for housework." There have been many kinds of feminism, emerging at different historical moments, and feminism has most of all been a series of debates, proposals, and experiments.
