[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Treating childcare and housework as free labor is what’s wrong but today’s society can’t see that. Its not any different than racists not seeing themselves as racists.[/quote][/quote]

Then don’t work for free…? Go out in the workforce and get paid for your work. Make your partner step up his game at home and with the kids.[/quote]

Except the motherhood penalty hinders them from doing that. See how that works?[/quote]

Just to be clear here, this OP was about women who are very clearly NOT trying to be in the workforce.  It is about "respecting" and "honoring" a choice not to enter at all.

The motherhood penalty that applied to women who remain in the workforce after becoming mothers: https://www.forbes.com/sites/shelleyzalis/2019/02/22/the-motherhood-penalty-why-were-losing-our-best-talent-to-caregiving/?sh=4d3820c846e5

The motherhood penalty is the opposite of what OP is talking about.

Now if you are saying it is difficult for women to enter the workforce for the first time after raising children, or take a decade or more off from their career.  That is a discussion.  But it is a different one.  And OF COURSE it is going to be more difficult to get high paying jobs.  And it isn't all about age, but experience.  I'm all for pathways to employment for any person at any time.  But all types of personal choices impact how many doors are open, and a choice that decreases experience will decrease options.
