[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the daily delight of mansplaining. I am the lone token female in a sea of men.

We need more females. Many days it's a stampede of testosterone. Yes, I can handle simple division, but let's waste 10 minutes while you explain division.

It gets really lonely as you climb the ladder. Fewer women. I'm angry because there are so many capable women who gave up careers.

If you haven't been here, trust me, we are fighting a gender battle.[/quote]

I agree with this 100%. All the SAHMs who claim we're all so jealous that they run the PTA and work out - actually, our frustration with your choices runs much deeper than that.

Why do you think you get to choose other people's values so that they align with yours and make your life more convenient? Are you hearing yourself? [/quote]

Some of us have a greater view of the world than what's within our four walls.  No one's choosing values - we're asking you to acknowledge that your choices affect other women who choose to stay in the workplace and remain professionally valuable / viable.[/quote]

No one operates in a vacuum.

SAHMs choices immediately impact themselves and their families but more broadly have a ripple affect among their communities and societies.

Because so many women even today choose to SAH the feminist movement has been pushed back. Who cares about gender parity, equitable pay, women's access to economic opportunity or self sufficiency if so many people who do not believe in that can automatically fall back into traditional gender roles.

Men do not have to put up with assertive ambitious women who demand equality and respect because they can happily to to a bar and find a girl who just wants to be a home maker and let him be. Think Donald and Melania. Why would he listen to someone like Megan Kelly when he has an army of women like Melania who indulge and encourage him because their survival depends on his moods.

Workplaces do not have to move to break glass ceilings, pay women fairly or even invest in them because women opt out in droves or not join at all in anticipation of childrearing and home making. The corporate world, government, science, arts remain male dominated.

Little girls who grow up watching their mom in her Lululemons and Jeep Cherokee paid for by her dad, watch this and subconsciously emulate this model when they grow up. It is the wealthy white women and their adherence to traditional gender roles that are putting all the rest of us and our feminist movements at risk.

,men like Donald Trump become who they are. The Donald doesn't need to listen to Megan Kelly telling him he's rude when he has women like Melania and Maria telling him he's so handsome and successful. He can even afford to be such a brute because he lives in a delusional world where women like you are catering to his every whim because their survival depends on him.

SAHMs make life hard for those of us who want to work because you provide an option[/quote]

Bull crap.[/quote]
