"I think, though, that where we're at odds is that you're talking about the difficulty of having to take care of kids and have a career and I'm talking about choosing how much to take on. There's no requirement to hold a job and you're comparing apples and oranges if you compare moms without jobs back then and moms with jobs now."

I am talking about just having to work. You've thrown in the career thing. I think it simply comes down to now women have to work, no matter what they "choose" to work at, and that there's very little choice about it, and now they do two jobs instead of one, and the one that gets the shortest shrift is raising the kids- which is just bad for society. And yes, I think doing two jobs is more difficult than one, and I don't know anyone who bakes brownies all day, though I think Hillary knew some all day cookie bakers (I don't know any of them, either).
