[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But seriously, OP, what do you do all day? Do you have some sort of hobby or volunteer gig that takes up your time?[/quote]

I’m a PP and I’ll repeat what I wrote above. Why is that anyone’s business how she chooses to spend her days?[/quote]

Because it contributes to the patriarchal society that we all live in and sets a terrible example for children.  but SAHMs are selfish by nature, so they don’t care. ME ME MEEE![/quote]

Surprised it took that many pages to lay bare what is really behind the animosity towards SAHMs.  Its a betrayal of the so-called sisterhood.  Note these same folks applaud religious women who put on hijabs as an empowered choice.

The real resentment is also because their staying at home allows their husbands careers to take off which is a big advantage over working women with no such luxury.[/quote]

Sad thing is I think you really believe this.[/quote]

My CFO recently said at a Board dinner that “the secret to my success is my stay at home wife.”

He literally doesn’t do anything but work and socialize with work and industry people. Yet maintains a father figure, married with a house and three kids image despite not knowing anything about what’s going on at home.

There is absolutely no way this is true. No one would say the phrase “stay at home wife” at a board meeting. Nice try.

I hope those of you defending this don’t have daughters. And if you do, I hope you realize how hypocritical you are if you push them to succeed.[/quote]

Of course we have daughters and push them to succeed! I want them to have all the choices in life that I did and that choice includes being a SAHM like me, wanting a full time job and a partner with equal hours, or having a SAHD as a partner. Feminism is about choices not constraints.[/quote]

Actually feminism is about having the same rights a man does, it has nothing to do with a choice to stay home.  I mean stay home if you wish but feminism isn't a part of this conversation.[/quote]
