  Responsibility, Men, Civilization

  Mary Kay Blakely (1995). “American Mom: Motherhood, Politics, and Humble Pie”, p.152, Simon and Schuster

• However diligent she may be, however dedicated, no mother can escape the larger influences of culture, biology, fate . . . until we can actually live in a society where mothers and children genuinely matter, ours is an essentially powerless responsibility. Mothers carry out most of the work orders, but most of the rules governing our lives are shaped by outside influences.

  Mary Blakely

  Mother, Children, Responsibility

• If my sons are to become the kind of men our daughters would be pleased to live among, attention to domestic details is critical.The hostilities that arise over housework...are crushing the daughters of my generation....Change takes time, but men's continued obliviousness to home responsibilities is causing women everywhere to expire of trivialities.
