from that era actually worked. There are many theorists that contradict the traditional family from the 1950s and give more support to Curzer’s claim.
One of the philosophers that creates a conflict to the traditional family and helps Curzer’s argument is John Stuart Mill. Mill’s moral theory states that morality is about the consequences of our actions and not about character like Aristotle says, or arguments or intentions.

Hobbes states that nature has made men equal in faculties of the body and mind but there is always a person that thinks is better than others. this might be because they most of the time prove that they are better than others but other people might be better than them. In the traditional family, men think that they can do housewife work and think that they do not need a woman because everything they do is easy. In the traditional family of the 1950s, the housework was very low rated and sometimes it was not even considered as a real job. Curzer thought this was unjust because like Hobbes says there are certain things that you can be good at but there are other things that other people are better at it than you. Aristotle’s goal is happiness and Hobbes’ goal is to have a simple and pure life. Hobbes created three natural law that every human should follow if they want to have a simple and pure life. Happiness is not always good if there is no good intension behind
