Interesting that Lewis considers herself a Marxist. The entire concept of "freeing" mothers from childcare, as it's currently framed, is for their greater involvement in the workplace. The World Economic Forum is entirely frank about this. Women are considered by the WEF and by old-guard feminists generally to be wasting their time and damaging the economy by caring for children when they could be toiling in the corporate world, i.e., their true mission in life. The whole point is to feed ever more workers into the capitalist system and thereby bring down wages, hardly a Marxist goal.
