Price cap - means women are shafted AGAIN

[idonotmind]

This is another massive step backwards for women.

It will just become even more important for the lower earners (the female of the species, more often than not) to stay at home. And become deskilled. And controlled.

Gah

This makes no sense whatsoever imo.

How?

I’m not seeing the connection here. Can you explain?

I think you are making this a sexism issue when it really isn't.

I don't understand what you mean

🙄

I am similarly lost? Why would this mean women would stop working?

What on earth are you talking about.

Surely they'll need to be out of the house, at work, as the house won't have heating?

Surely it's more likely to have the opposite effect as women who can may feel the need to go to work.

If you say so!

I’m planning to work extra shifts to pay for it, I’m a woman with a partner and child.

Please can you expand? I thought more people would have to go to work to earn money rather than be sahp.

But… why…?

Eh?

More people than ever will be working 2/3 jobs to make ends meet.

Two nurseries near me are closing in December - the final nail in the coffin has been the increase in gas & electricity bills.

The staff being made redundant are mostly women.

I think the problem is that is usually up to women to work out how to change they way they cook and feed their family - it’s taking up a lot of my brain space as well as time

And as more and more childcare providers close their doors, good luck with those extra shifts

Op I'm not seeing the link either. Other than it puts up the cost of being in the house so being a SAHM or WFH becomes less cost efficient. Cheaper to be out the house and make use of heating someone else is paying for.

Pardon?

I don't see the connection

👍

It is more likely to be the opposite, surely?

Why will women be staying home? Surely more will be forced to find work for extra income.

You what?
