  Louise Perry has put her finger on the biggest challenge we face as a species: that we have embraced a culture that is hostile to children, motherhood and families. And she also has put her finger on the direction forward: we must change this culture by exploding the myth that all traditional institutions are evil and wrong. Brava Louise!

  I was in the vanguard of the 70s feminism. Many of the women were heroic in challenging the unfairness, disrespect and discrimination that had pertained for centuries, the problem was that we had no template for women&apos;s equality, so we looked to male power patterns, believing that the only answer was to put on the jocks and play rugger with the boys! <br>It took me two decades to realise that what we should have fought for was for equal support, respect and fairness for the essential work of bearing and raising the human race, without which all the other high status jobs would-be pointless and meaningless.

  When my sister gave birth to her first child, our mother drove 250 miles to the city she was in and stayed with her for over 3 months. &nbsp;<br><br>My sister said it was the most positive and supporting action she has ever received.

  Absolutely brilliant speech! So few people can see the extent of the problem but Louise obviously can. Bravo

  About lying in. &nbsp;I watched a TV program about an elephant herd and the arrival of a newborn was greeted with such joy and celebration by the adult females!! &nbsp;Now I understand how important society and community took motherhood

  Very good. This is what &quot;interpreting the signs of the times&quot; looks like.

  Wow. No conservative speech has given my libertarian mind so much to think about as this one. <br><br>She nailed it. Absolutely nailed it.

  The erosion of the extended family and &nbsp;grandparent care arising &nbsp;in part from a self centred worldview is also to blame.
