My Federalist piece is about how daycare has gone from something working women need to something society (that is, the taxpayer) owes all women.>Under it all is the worry, exploited by feminists to make it true: that women will not, in fact, be able to take care of their own children and home. Not necessarily financially (which may be the case, depending on choices made), but in the sense of the panic anyone would experience upon suddenly being asked to pilot a jet or operate on a patient. Women have gone from innate confidence in their ability and suitability to raise a child, to abject fear of being left alone with one; hence the pervasive anxiety to get the government to step in.
