[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will tell you what is a scam - that motherhood is not a full time job in addition to your paying full time job. I think the women's liberation movement sold women the idea that women can do it all. It's exhausting. [b]It has devalued mothers. Sahm's are even attacked as worthless by other women. Women have brainwashed about their value.[/b][/quote]

Yup. You see it all day every day on this very website, written by women who think of themselves as feminists with a capital F.[/quote]

Feminism has devalued mothers?
Mothers have always been devalued by society (free labor). At least we have choices to get out of it now.[/quote]

I feel it’s the opposite.  Being a housewife used to be an accepted job.  Try quitting your job at 30 without kids to be a housewife.  Women are now expected to earn money AND have kids.

I’m ready for the “but women always worked.”

Back in the day, mothers were home in the suburbs.  Families often only had one car.  Daycares didn’t exist.  Seriously the average woman didn’t work. [/quote]
