Re: feminists hate tomboys?

It's the realest of all jobs on a basic, biological level. Human children tend to get eaten by predators and hit by cars when left on their own. So unless we're aiming for the end of the human race as a SPECIES, then it makes sense to dedicate one parent to monitor the child as close as possible for as long as possible.

True, but before the nuclear family became such a huge thing, usually the parent dedicated to the kids would be grandparents, great aunts and uncles, and so on, because able-bodied younger adults couldn't be spared just to watch the kids without doing any other resource-generating work at all. The ideal of one parent works, other parent watches kids was never very sustainable for most people.

This is a good point.

but - to me, at least - the idea that the only legitimate response is to demand that both parents work, and that in fact this is the only morally acceptable thing to do for society as a whole, is pretty much the most perverse way possible to respond to that change

and second, even in the situation you're describing, the idea that there's a stark division between work inside the home and work outside of it, in terms of necessity for life, existed less than it does now, because there's a significant part of the family unit that's devoted to housework. and it gets even more tenuous of a distinction when you're talking about agricultural societies where it's all melded together. many of the things that you would describe as resource-generating work, or at least necessary work, are things that would be considered housework, in the modern era, and therefore not work at all.
