[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The question is inherently stupid, given that the majority of women have always had to work to help their families survive. This conversation is for a few privileged women to kvetch over. The rest of us know that this world will never be good for women and girls until we crush the patriarchy and stand on truly equal footing with men in all areas of life.[/quote] This is a bit disingenuous. Yes, poor women have always worked, but in ways that acknowledged their primary role was to care for the children & home. Am I saying I want to be a poor washerwoman with 5 grimy kids in tow? No. But our culture’s insistence that women be men is also exhausting and deeply “not right”. [/quote] We should stop mistaking self-sufficiency with being a man. The problem with staying home is that it's a role that requires no special skills and relies on somebody else's paycheck.[/quote]
