When J.D. Vance announced a plan to offer public assistance for stay-at-home mothers, he was immediately blasted as a socialist wanting to turn the U.S. into a welfare state.

For some reason, it didn’t matter that this program already existed for mothers working outside the home, nor did it matter that Vance wanted to incentivize more women to stay at home and have children instead of spending their most fertile years working in an office.

But neither of these claims accounts for the strong preference for hiring women in traditionally male-dominated sectors like manufacturing and construction.
