    How many men died over there though. Those jobs became vacant

    Honestly your comment triggers the fuck out of me. Are you saying women had it worse in ww2? lol should men returning from war not be entitled to their job back?

      To explain your downvotes.

      Women were encouraged to join the work force on top of all of the parenting/wifely duties they were saddled with for generations. This was a lot of work, but it also provided a glimpse into financial independence and equal placement in the workplace for the first time.

      But when the war was over, women were encouraged to jump right back into the kitchen.

      should men returning from war not be entitled to their job back

      There are many jobs that need to be done to make society work. There are plenty of jobs at home that they could have taken.

        I feel as if that’s kind of fair given that the men were the ones who had to die without any choice in the matter, no?

        Also I didn’t know I was downvoted as I have that turned off lol
