Janet Bloomfield: ‘Seven ways American women have made the government their husbands. Sucks when he takes time off, doesn’t it, ladies?’

/ Mike Buchanan

In our public consultation document https://j4mbdotorgdotuk.wordpress.com/our-public-consultation-exercise-2/ the proposals include the following:

The government should set a date after which state support will not be provided for women having new babies which they are personally (or with the support of a partner and/or others) unable to care for financially.

Single women abuse the system even after they’ve miscarried, as we reported recently https://j4mbdotorgdotuk.wordpress.com/2013/09/25/why-are-women-above-the-law/

Reporting from the United States, Janet Bloomfield – in her immortal style – has  really nailed the whole issue in a new piece http://judgybitch.com/2013/10/09/seven-ways-american-women-have-made-the-government-their-husbands-sucks-when-he-takes-time-off-doesnt-it-ladies/

  1. Back in the 80s, a female workmate of mine persuaded one of our male colleagues to get her pregnant with no strings attached. She wanted to get a flat and claims that the local housing officer had advised her to get pregnant. Don’t know how true the last part is, but she got her flat…

    As a young man growing up on a council estate, I had similar propositions. Your own flat and a pram was a status symbol for the ladies on our estate – who cared who the father was? People respond to incentives, and women are no different.
