Document Summary

Status of women- women took on new roles during the war, traditional attitudes were the same. The changes seen happening during the war was seen as temporary. Retrenchment- you see women go back to their traditional roles. In the same way propaganda campaigns during the war to have women contribute to the war, they pushed women to go back to their traditional duties to give men the jobs back. Framed as a reward- because we won the war your fathers and husbands coming home, you don"t have to work and take care of children anymore- make way for the men coming home. Canada, you did a heroic job to the war, you did your part now go home . Women proving they could do mens work was significant to feminists later on ie. rosie the riviter. Media & policy makers were obsessed with the prospects of another depression. There is not another depression in the late 40s.

Traditionally, children born within a marriage were assumed to be fathered by the husband. Currently however, paternity testing is routine in the USA. For example in 1999 280,000 tests were conducted and in 28% of the cases the husband was not the biological father. Overall, about 5 to 10 percent of marital children are not the biological children of the husband (Santrock 2002).
However, although we have this information, most states have not yet updated their laws and men are required to continue supporting children they have not fathered. In fact, while criminal courts use DNA evidence as support of fatherhood, family courts do not acknowledge this scientific evidence (Santrock, 2002).

Within this context, consider the following questions:

What makes a parental relationship?
If biology is held supreme, what are the implications for adoptive parents? Same-sex parents?
Does the refusal to acknowledge scientific evidence reward women for deception?
Finally, what about the children?
