The New York Post's Karol Markowicz asks a very significant question about the silence of so called women's rights groups in the current Covid impacted situation.

Markowicz asks and points out in an article:

BEGIN QUOTE

Even more female workers may have felt forced to "voluntarily” give up their jobs to be home looking after kids exiled from their school buildings at the behest of powerful teachers’ unions. Oh, and as CNN reports, the job losses hit black and Hispanic women disproportionately...

SECTION OMITTED

...And yet that deafening sound no one hears is the tragic silence of a feminist movement that has chosen to side with teachers’ unions instead of with women throughout the country who are bearing the brunt of these school closures. 

SECTION OMITTED

Women are left to pick up the slack. For all the conversations over the years about the lack of child care to help women have successful careers and be good mothers, nothing has been as crippling to their careers as the, poof, disappearance of schools.

END OF QUOTE

Read the entire piece here.

Feminism appears to be more supportive of either childless women or women who have access to expensive private schools or charter schools that are open - or those families fortunate and wealthy enough to be able to move to states with open schools. The feminists are not championing  the less wealthy women who are at the mercy of public schools and teachers unions - much to the shock and dismay of these women and their families.
