He takes a much harsher tone introducing a woman with a husband and a job but no children. He also lauds these mobile men while glossing over the lives of nearby women (I notice that an adult daughter lived with Hechler—where was HER mobility?) Sexist without even realizing it’s sexist. I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish.

I cannot help but notice that there is a huge gendered component to this discussion that has so far been entirely left out. He’s brought up racism a couple times (without teeth) but idealizes a time when women legally couldn’t always own property and same-sex couples couldn’t safely choose to live together.

There’s a weird pronatalist undercurrent in this book.
