[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we just end it with this:

#1, if you (SAHM) want a job, try to focus on your qualifications.

#2, if you (WOHM) see a SAHM, try not to prejudge or take offense at what her life choices have been.

(And to those who claim that the WOHMs paved the way for a SAHM to even show her face in an interview -- doesn't that mean that you are taking the same position as the "old boys club" that we feminists fought against?  Isn't feminism about giving women the opportunity to do more than ONE thing -- isn't it about allowing a woman to choose her path?  So, by viewing a SAHM applicant as innately inferior b/c she chose to spend additional time at home, you are effectively taking the role of the men of old days and deciding that a woman gets to make one, and only one, choice about what she wants to do with her life.  That's not a feminist perspective.  Let's not make it a competition.)[/quote]

NO ONE HAS SAID SAHMS DON'T DESERVE TO REENTER THE WORKFORCE.  Many have said that if you intend to reenter be mindful and respectful of the women who made it possible for you by making different choices.  Just go back to the first page of this thread, look at the things people have heard SAHMs say in interviews.  Don't say those things and you're cool.
