Do you believe a woman’s place is to be a homemaker and raise kids? Why or why not?

THe1NES · 2020-07-15T01:53:27+00:00

No, because I believe in a right to equality and freedom for all people regardless of gender

It depends entirely on the individual and their personality, mannerisms, work ethic etc

No, women's place isn't to be a homemaker. It's whatever she wants and has an ability to do. Only having a physical ability to do something doesn't mean you have to do all your life. And, well, homemaking can be done by men and women, it doesn't really depend on your gender.

I'd say working women have more impact on society right now and few SAHMs have more long-term impact. Raising children is important, but I don't see why you have to spend your life as SAHM in order to do it.

The freedom of choice should be more important than just one variant. For me working is more important than homemaking. Maybe if we have kids, I'll spend a few months at home, but I hope that my husband will be able to take his turn here after that. Ideally both of us would work half-time or from home, so both would have enough time to spend with a child and not to be overwhelmed with it either.

When woman are capable of pursuing their own careers, and life goals why should the responsibly fall solely on our hands alone?

ChelseaDagger14 · 2020-07-15T02:08:25+00:00

The social science suggests that women date men who earn more than they do. So if the woman has a kid it would make sense for her on the lesser income to raise the kid.

It depends on the dynamic however, there may be factors at play - like the mother might earn more or the father having flexibility and/or working at home provisions. And there’s the possibility of being a working mum

That is working on the basis that women in relationships even birth kids. Personally I don’t want them.

A woman's place is ideally wherever she and her partner as a team decide it should be. There have been happy mothers and homemakers, and there have been happy female CEO'S. I'm sure the homemeaker's families were often happy, too, and I'm sure it's best that children and housework were not forced on the unwilling career woman. It would be nice to be able to do both, but that's quite a balancing act because mothers do so much for their children even with assistance.

If society didn't screw over the lower classes so much that they have lottle choice, I'm sure it would work out well, or at keast a lot better.

Market_Feudalism · 2020-07-15T02:45:50+00:00

For my own interests (as a man), I want them in the home. However, I understand that there's more to enjoy in life than that. I don't have a problem with them doing both, and I believe women can do both, but their priorities are backwards. Women have all the time in the world to work, but being a good wife and mother must come first (chronologically).

rubbooyuri · 2020-07-15T03:00:37+00:00

We don’t need more people on this goddam planet.

SaBahRub · 2020-07-15T03:04:34+00:00

Please explain why it is important to add another 3 or 4 billion people to this planet’s population

I think women have the most impact on society doing what they want to do lol. Ideally it shouldn’t matter. However, I do feel children need better more present parenting and nurture which isn’t as good with mothers back at work just a few months after their children are born. There’s always a balance though and if they can’t make a balance then really are they better at home rather than at work? Sounds like a no to me.

Edit: spelling.

staypositivebrad · 2020-07-15T01:59:33+00:00

Only if she wants to be.

Women seem naturally keyed to doing it better, though. It kind of shows through in how women are more likely to demand well-maintained cleanliness in their living spaces than men, who are more likely to not give too much of a fuck about it until it gets too much.

Aaren_Augustine · 2020-07-15T02:04:54+00:00

Gay men escaped their closet and never talked about it again.

Women escaped their kitchen and can't stop talking about it.

Wonder why.

softhandsam · 2020-07-15T02:19:55+00:00

I believe they are better suited to it than men for the most part, but as a supplement to a man in the home not by themselves.

Workaholiconew · 2020-07-15T02:45:20+00:00

No, I think women can choose to behave as they please. They are adult women after all. And simply put, they have the obligation to decide it. They cannot evade such decision anymore.

But I am of the opinion that most women who are homemakers and child raises, even those who are so against their wishes, tend to be happier and more productive.

I hypothesize it is because, among other things, their social inclinations, but I can be incorrect.

And ideally what do you believe to be more important?

Both are important. Both are work that is needed to be done. It makes them important. But that is the best I can do. There is no comparing apples to oranges. Outside of saying that they are fruit bodies that is. The work of a politician is not more important than the one of a teacher, it just have more status.
