Aulette says that we need to identify goals for reconstructing families and societies in ways that provide for loving, egalitarian communities

Question

She also asserts, however, that we need to be careful not to maintain or create relationships that place some people at a disadvantage. She cites Michele Hoffnung on the dilemma between advocating for individual freedom and equality and for societies that are nurturant and collectively run. Which of the following is the position asserted by Hoffnung?
a. Having children is an individual choice. Consequently child care is the individual responsibility of the parents and is not the concern of others.
b. It is not enough for women to be able to do men's work as well as women's; it is necessary to reconsider the value of mothering and to reorder public priorities so that caring for children counts in and adds to the lives of women and men.
c. The socialization of children is so important that mothers should be paid to stay home during the first three years of a child's life.
d. The socialization of children is so important that society should provide high quality child care and preschool education with low or no costs to parents.
