[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Self-confident women don’t want “traditionalism”.  That’s a mechanism to control women. [/quote]

I have a “traditional” marriage there is nothing controlling about it.  It was my choice.  I have a very good life;  [/quote]

Your poor kids. [/quote]

Why my poor kids?[/quote]

Reinforced stereotypes & lack of role models. [/quote]

How is this reinforcing stereotypes?  I like being there/picking kids when kids up from school.  I like entertaining/hosting/cooking.  I enjoy spoiling my husband and he enjoys spoiling me, we have fun and have a great marriage.

Why I am I not role model?  I was successful very young, DH is successful, there is no need for both of us to work.  Prioritizing, my family time and doing things I enjoy has improved my mental health dramatically.  I am not lazy and sitting around all day watching TV, drinking wine, eating cake.

We are specs in a huge universe, outside of very small group of people no one is gong to remember what we did in our careers or care what we accomplished.  And in 1000 years even the legacy of current presidents will be mostly unknown.
Having a career outside of the home doesn’t make you a role model.  Being a kind, empathetic and well rounded person is the type of role model I fell that I am.[/quote]
