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.

But I am free to respect anyone who doesn't make IMO a meaningful contribution to society much less than I do contributors, while at the same time allowing this stereotypical SAHM to go on with her life. I have god-given faculties to discern what is worth respect or not, and I'm going to use them. Not in any way that affects the stereotypical SAHM, but I nonetheless have the freedom to distinguish among people.

I find it appauling how some of the WOHM < not any one in perticular here on the board just WOHM i am familiar with who are so over the top > expect respect for their choice but will not respect a sahm for their choice...it is a double edge sword i guess b/c they will never get repsect from me if they demand it or expect it and not give it back. You have to give to recieve and my lifestly in general is no better than any one else's in general no one is unworthy of me and no one does not not deserve my respect until proven themselves to otherwise and yet, i still dont disrespect them. PLUS, finacial statis, education, what you do for a living or with your personal life has nothing to do wiht how i view the level of respect others deserves. I know some lower middle class women who are great mothers, wives, fiends, daughters people all around and i admire them unconditionally and have a huge regard for them as people much more than some very weatlhy women i know and visa versa of course. I think it all comes down to the persons integrity, self respect and admoration for life and the life of others.
