[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a woman that had a kid then went in leave for 6 months, came back for 6 months and is going out again because she is having a other kid. Who knows when she will be back a full year.[/quote]
But, I thought MAGA wanted women to have more kids, and have them younger.   [/quote]

Yeah MAGA doesn’t want women to work. [/quote]

No, MAGA wants families to make decisions that work for them and stop putting pressure on  women to become Girl Bosses if their actual nature is more domestic.

People throw a lot of shade at SAHMs. I've never been a SAHM but I find it completely disgusting that feminism has set up a two tier system with SAHMs as the underclass that aren't quite meeting the mark. Women being a lot to the table outside of a paycheck and the left has no issue disparaging capitalism except in the context of feminism.  [/quote]

I am as liberal as they come and don't throw shade at SAHMs. My closest neighbor is a SAHM but we joke about how I WAH and am basically a SAHM that earns a paycheck. She has it goooood. I do 90-95% of what she does and I work. My DH works as Fed more than 40 hours a week and doesnt get overtime. Her husband gets 1.5 for over 40 because he has a union job. 
What you are missing is that the job my neighbor's husband has- a police officer- has many protections: a full pension (he will retire at 45), great benefits, overtime pay, etc. Those have been stripped from most jobs. It's a hard gig to SAHM unless you live in rural America (VLCOL), have family money, or have a high-earning spouse. 
SAHMs are not the underclass because of working women. You are the underclass because most SAHMs cater to their tax-avoidant husbands who vote Republican who opine on the domestic life but dont actually structurally support raising children as valuable. You are chattel to them as group. Not to your individual husbands of course but the other faceless women are numbers to them. And, truth be told, you are also competition. Getting women out of the workforce is a benefit to them in more ways than just having women at home. [/quote]
