If you are a SAHM, then all your basic needs are met. Otherwise, you would be at a paying job. So what exactly do you want to advocate for? Even in case of divorce, divorce settlements for SAHM usually include alimony and medical insurance to continue for a period of time.

Employees get “benefits” SAHMs don’t get because their work is for someone else. If you choose to stay home, your own family keeps all the benefits from your work. That is the upside of staying home.

As wohm I have to agree. Let’s eliminate the marriage tax penalty before doing anything else to support sahm. It’s hard to see my .70/dollar be taxed higher when I don’t have the privilege to sahm. All our carpools and committees are with other wohm.

But you expect taxpayers and other employees to support you when you take off for maternity leave, right? Selfish. Listen, spite and envy make for bad policy. We all need others’ support. You’re what’s wrong with America.

Conservatives do for sure. Feminists. Nope

I wonder if feminists would advocate for SAHDs?

Why should women’s groups advocate for men? Seems to me like you need to get off your lazy ass and advocate for yourselves the way women do.

No, but i think it is time for couples to revert back to single income families. That will put enough pressure on business and governments.

Conservatives like it in theory. But only if families themselves pay for it.

Don't expect a handout, SAHMs.


This^ is what’s wrong with this nation, no empathetic and open minded attempt to try to understand what other person is saying and jumping to belittle them.

These are the wrong assumptions that one is doing somehow more work if they are putting on heels and dress and driving to another place. If its a nanny or a childcare assistant, it’s hard work but if a mother does it for her own children, somehow it looses its value.


Especially if she’s a poor single mother.

Anyone who supports public education and universal health care is looking out for stay-at-home-moms.

I don't need to be singled out or named individually for something I chose to do for the benefit of my family. Please.

Its been a traditional role serving nation’s most important units known as families, nation’s most important asset known as minor citizens and nation’s most important buildings known as homes. They fill so many voids in the society but get no recognition, no compensation or no one protecting this endangered species. Isn’t it about time for them to stand up for their rights and for others to acknowledge and support it?


You won’t get support for this. It’s assumed all SAH moms are rich and privileged.


Assumptions serves no one. There are all sort of assumptions helping majority marginalize other minorities as well.

The only person that should be looking out for SAHMs is their husband/wife. The tax payer should not be on the hook for an able bodied person who has decided they would prefer to stay home.
