discuss why 3 months maternity leave isnt enough to keep women in the workforce, other complain about not being able to leave the workforce

Claims that theu went on disability so thay they could be a stay at home mom, in same breath says that they canr have kids, but motherhood disabled xem

>After years of infertility and loss, I went on disability to set myself up to be a SAHM and to focus fully on my health and conceiving before my 40th birthday. That came and went last year and we gave up trying, so now I’m on disability to grieve and accept a childfree life. If I had the social support to try to become a mother before turning 30 I would have, but it took me that long to get my degrees and find a stable partner who also wanted children.Working is the furthest thing from my mind now and I’ll probably never use my degrees at this point. Not having a path to motherhood kept me working, until it disabled me.

calls out OP on xer white womxn non-sense

>You’re not entirely wrong, but it seems like you really mean “white women”. White women are meant to be kept out of the workforce, reliant on a man, and unable to exist independently or securely, particularly outside of the domestic sphere. But Black women in particular have not just been expected to go back to work after childbirth; they sometimes have been legally required to do so. This seems like a venting post, and you’re right to do so about an issue that hurts so many people. But do also keep in mind this perspective and these experiences when thinking about patriarchy and systemic oppression.
