[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I am still confused about how the ability to work outside the home and earn an income started being viewed as a chore and a burden rather than a desirable exercise of ones ability be able to use your mind and intelligence and be financially independent?

[b]All I knew was women wanting to be more than just housewives and poop cleaners for their babies. [/b]

[b]In the first world, its reversed. Women seem to want to go back into their kitchens.[/b]

You are being intentionally provocative. [/quote]

Her remarks at the end of her OP were similarly provocative.  Trying to sound confused and sincere while ending with digs and looking down her nose.  Typical.

I was not trying to be provocative. I am trying to put it in simple terms.

I don't understand the desire to stay home. My mother always told me to always always be financially independent and never to be dependent on a man or a burden on your parents. I'm confused as to why western women desire to be provided for. There's no dignity in that. You're dependent on someone else for your livelihood.  :shock: [/quote]

You don't need to put anything into simple terms. Unless you believe SAHMs are dimwits, incapable of thinking in complex terms.   :roll:

Comparing your upbringing to the US is faulty. American women who SAH can join the workforce at any point in time and earn money. We are not barred entry. And, unless you can work and support your family WITHOUT the income of your husband, working mothers are also financially dependent on their spouses for their livelihood. Stop kidding yourself.
