thread in AIBU really pissing me off; Working women to blame for expensive housing costs.

[BonniePrinceBilly]

here

Why don't you post on THAT thread then?

I did. I thought someone from this topic might like to post on it to.

Is there something wrong with that?

Why is it so wrong to note that a side effect of dual-income families is that they can afford to pat higher housing prices?

pay not pat!

Because its about taking a complex issue with many factors and blaming it on one small part of it, namely that more families have 2 incomes (ie more women have jobs). Its making the fact that more women ahve jobs and more mothers in particular work a bad thing, IMO.

I thought it was appropriate to link to this topic, sorry, I'll piss off back to chat then.

thanks for link, BPB. Portofino can return to her beat as MN thread police happy.

Thread police! Actually I didn't notice this was in Feminism, just thought OP was generally moaning about another thread. So actually, I apologise! There probably is a point in addressing the argument from this perspective.

Ah right

Nah, I'd only do a fred about a fred if I had a really good reason...honest guv!

Why is it pissing you off so much? The vast majority of respondents on the original thread don't agree with the op.

They don't now but I got my knickers in a bunch way back when this morning.

It was a pointless thread TBH. Because, whatever the truth of it, short of forcing all working women back home I don't know how you do anything about it.

It riled me because it's exactly what my MIL says.

I couldn't bring myself to read that one, but might have to wander over for a look now.........

My initial reaction to the title was 'oh FFS! Next, please' and to look for anything with MIL in the title
