Buzzword Breakdown: Fascism Edition! 🎩👊
- Fascism: A political ideology that's all about total control by the state, big on nationalism, and not so fond of individual freedoms. Think of it like your overprotective parent who thinks they always know best.
- The Duce: That's just a fancy title for Benito Mussolini, Italy's head honcho during the Fascist era.
Fascism and Women: What's the Deal? 🤷♀️
- Fascist Viewpoint on Women: Ol' school.
- Main jobs? Wives and moms.
- Say what? No to birth control and abortion. They thought it was as unnatural as pineapple on pizza 🍕.
- Smart ladies? Not here. Women were discouraged from higher education like telling a fish to avoid water.
- Why did the Duce care?
- Mussolini had two plans
- Women to chill at home.
- Boost Italy's population for a bigger army. Hence, the "Battle for Births" (sounds like a game show, right? But it's not).
- Mussolini had two plans
The Battle for Births: A Deep Dive 🍼
- The Goal: Transform Italy's population scoreboard from 40 mil to a whopping 60 mil by 1950. It's like wanting your Instagram followers to triple, but way more intense.
- The Plan
- Set a family goal: 12 kids per family. Think of it like a soccer team plus a substitute!
- Give couples money loans for tying the knot, and with every baby, they chip away at that debt. Babies = Debt Erasers.
- Have six kids or more? Congrats! You’re tax-free, kind of like buying duty-free at the airport.
- Clinics for health? Yep! But only for those struggling with their finances.
- But there's a twist: The gentle push turned into a shove.
- Singles pay more taxes. Imagine being taxed for loving your single life!
- Looking for a job in the government? Better put a ring on it first.
- Businesses? They became bro zones. Many started hiring only married dudes.
- Only 10% of the workforce could be female in the public sector by 1933. Think of it like having only one girl in a boy band.
- Ladies could still work, but only in roles that seemed straight out of a 19th-century movie - like cleaning.
