[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women belong in the home, that’s what you should tell them. While their kids are at daycare or wherever, yours are at home with their mother. This is the real feminism.

I’m so glad society is shifting and now so many more women are proud to be SAHMs (just look at the posters on this thread). I think we will soon see enrollment rates for girls drop at college because what’s the point of an education when staying at home become normalized as a career path, it’s the hardest job in the world after all.

You are a troll, but to respond to one of your trollish points, the woman in my family who stays home has a phd.  Who wants their children raised by an unintelligent partner?  One of the biggest factors in the success of children is their parents' education level.  [/quote]

You don’t need a phd to raise children. You don’t think that young girls who see women quit their jobs and who dream of having kids and having careers might think twice? The devaluing of college education will happen regardless because of AI but the current anti-working mom and pro SAHM public discourse will undoubtedly affect young women thinking about the future. Why take on hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt when you see your phd older cousin quit her job to stay home? [/quote]

I didn't take on "hundreds of thousand of dollars in debt" to get my education (2 BS, 1 MS) and stay home.  I stayed home because once I had my kid, I chose to stay home with them.  I had daycare all set up (in the building where I worked).  But once the baby arrived I changed plans.  My kids know they can do whatever they want once they have kids.  That's the beauty of being educated, you get to choose what you do with your life.
