Is the SAHM the new status symbol?
| Tue, 09-23-2003 - 10:36pm |
In the 70's and 80's women fought to get into the workforce (the whole Ms. magazine generation)...and then the tide turned in the late 1990's when more women started to stay home by choice. Now, it seems like being a SAHM is a status symbol....and superior to being a working mom.

The double standard is that >>Women are encouraged to do whatever they please whether it be a career or the leisure life<< (your exact words) but Men are NOT encouraged to do whatever they please. They are encouraged only to work.
I know *your* DH is doing as he desires, which is work. But what if another man doesn't WANT to work? Based on your way of thinking, he's still encouraged to work regardless.
Can you not see what I mean?? I can't be any clearer.

If you have a penis, you have to work? If you don't, you can do whatever you want? Now this is a load of bull hockey. Are you, like, 80 years old?
