[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a SAHM, these articles about women quitting all seem pretty obvious to me. Yes, a few of you managed to marry a fully “woke” equal partner who will do 50% or more of the “mental load” in addition to housework and child rearing, but I learned pretty quickly I did not marry such a man.

And I’ll be damned if I’m going to carry the whole mental load, run the house, care for the kids AND work a full time job. I’m not a martyr. [/quote]

Of my 20 closest friends, all but one are married to men who do 50%. That one is a SAHM and the rest of us work. It's not just "a few" women who "managed" to marry "woke" men. You married a child, that was your choice. [/quote]

Ding ding ding! My ratio is not quite as good as yours, but I have plenty of friends and family where both spouses pitch in roughly equally. It’s the men-children who are the outliers, and should be eliminated in the next generation.[/quote]

Same.  Look, if you quit your job when you have a young baby then you’re going to be automatically assuming ALL of the childcare and household responsibilities.  It’s hard to later pass those on to your spouse.  Every woman I know with a man who doesn’t do his share is a SAHM and it’s likely because she dropped out of the workforce early on. [/quote]
