Do you think women should work?

[Melanie31]

I think there is no need for women to work while men work. I think men should do all the work. what do you think?

[Finchie40]

Yes they should work , especially if she has a habit of spending money and likes to buy things consistently. Some girls’ I have dated always wanted things , they were really never satisfied with what they already had in front of them , they always wanted more. I don’t mind being with a girl that likes to shop, but I do mind if she is pissing away money like it grows on trees. A relationship to me is partnership , her and I should be a team , working together to keep a roof over our head , food in our mouths and clothes on our back , We work together to have a peaceful content life together. A girl that thinks she should be catered to and holds her hand out for money consistently to me , is not a partner , she is a user., I can’t stand users , I don’t mind if she wants to stay at home and be a stay at home wife , but i do mind if she spends money on things that we really don’t need and making it harder for us to pay the bills. If she has a bad spending habit? , I will kick her to the curb where she belongs.

It's a bit too late for that now the world economy has already adjusted to women working. Employers would have to pay men more than double what they're paying them now to take care of a family on their own. So the workforce would shrink and they would still have to pay the same or more in salary. And they'd never do that now, too greedy. Employers have perfected to get the most out of workers while paying them the least and back in the day it was less like that.

But a lot of women were against women working back then too. The women of working class men who saw the jobs their men were doing like construction and mining and farming and fishing and things like that. They were perfectly happy to not have a job. There were interviews where they went out on the street and asked regular women what feminism or womens liberation, womens empowerment meant to them and they didn't care at all. It was the privileged white women who saw their men working in an office who thought they could do that too. Much like it is today the privileged women shout the loudest about their oppression like actresses in Hollywood for example.

I think women should have the opportunity to work.
I also think that I should work because I enjoy that I have the opportunity to be financially independent never having to rely on anyone.
For other women I have no opinion on, every single one of us is an independent individual who decides on their own what is the best course of actions for their own life.

A relationship is supposed to be reciprocal and compromising so if the guy does allll the work and the woman doesn’t do anything it doesn’t sound like a relationship and it doesn’t sound fair either. And like someone pointed out in the comments already staying home cooking, cleaning, watching kids is work too.

[Madlc]

Her staying at home doesn’t mean that she isn’t doing something

[Xia1994]

@Madlc hun she said “men should do alll the work” that entails he does it all and she said nothing about staying home specifically.

[Madlc]

Don’t call me “hun” and I guess she has the chance to explain herself

[Xia1994]

@Madlc I’m not trying to do you any harm by calling you hun, next time don’t comment on my posts if you have a problem with people who use terms of enderments.

[Madlc]

I don’t know you for you to use such a word, don’t call me that again.
Anyways, no harm.

[Xia1994]

@madlc don’t comment on my posts if you have a problem with how I express myself problem solved.

[Madlc]

I didn’t know you would use such word to begin with, respect me and I will respect you.
Who even uses the word hun towards a man?
In what world 🌍

I had to take a look at where you were from before I answered. Knowing that now, the one income household? That ship sailed back in 1950s! You also have to take account of the baby boomers entering the workforce in the '70s along with modern feminism and females are entrenched in the workforce now along with the fact that they're earning college degrees at a rate of two to every one nail degree so they're going to be more employable in the future for a very long time. Now in a fantasy world, sure that would be great if the men could be the breadwinner and the woman stay home. Unfortunately, that's fantasyland! America is the land of rapacious capitalism, and unforgiving social system and an attitude of fuck you I got mine.

It's still 2024, right? Because this question sounds like it's from the 1950's. Or 40s. maybe 30s.

Everyone who lives in a house should do some chores. Men and women can work or stay home or work part time or raise kids or be homemakers (which is also work). There is no such thing as a rule that one person does one thing and only that and the other person does everything else. Relationships are partnerships. They're all different and gender roles are meaningless. Some men are stay at home dads. Some women are stay at home moms. Some women earn more than their husband. No one cares. People find what works within the confines of their specific relationship---and they adapt accordingly as needed too.

[Serkee]

Read your question from a man's point of view. What do women who think this way bring the table? If they don't put in any work, why would a man want to be with them? Sex, obviously. If all you bring to the table is sex, then the only men who'll want you are the ones who just want to use you for sex. If you're ever upset that men just use you for sex, just know, that's why.

[msc545]

What they bring to the table is greed, trouble, and divorce.

[RebelinSteel]

Well that is just stupid.

Who is going to fill all the nursing roles, the receptionist roles, HR roles, QA roles, Journalism roles, Teaching roles, those are just the roles that I know are covered heavily by women.
Then you get to the roles within STEM.
Those roles above would be in civilian society but some are also present across the military and political side as well.

it might work in countries still living in a pre industrial era but not modern countries.

[Siri137]

Do you really think we actually need HR?

[RebelinSteel]

@Siri137 well who else can I get reported to lol.

Actually yes, more so this day and age, recruitment, arrival process, payroll,

For small orgs it’s likely a one person task.

Now shove in 100k or more employees

This is what I suspected as well. It drips with Incel trappings and implications.

[Siri137]

Oh god yes, definitely male.

[Anonymous]

I agree, in biology men are the hunters and women are the caretakers, so basically men were built to work hard and make money, while women were built to make babies and take care of them, and if any other person thinks otherwise than they're crazy in my opinion, because when you look at it in another perspective men are stronger and faster and so they can handle hard labor better, this has to do with testosterone in men that allows them to grow taller and stronger, while it's not the same thing for women because women have less muscles and so they can't handle hard labor like men do, and that's probably why women date men taller and stronger than them because they're not as strong and need to be protected by men to stay safe from attackers, it's just the hard truth.

• We cannot paint with single brush.
• We have to considered every individual circumstance.
• According their need of spending.
• Some love to live comfortable living.
• Considering kids equality education and so on.

[TommyMountainFigure]

What's wrong with women working too? I mean if you add a chunk of money that is coming in, you can afford to buy nicer things/ save more for a better retirement together!

[Chazmatazz269]

I think women are privileged to have the choice. Not only do i see nothing inherently wrong with that, i think men should equally have that same privilege. Unfortunately, we do not. And until we do, hell yes women should work.

[Raaj4you]

I am a bit misogynist but I don't mind if women decides to work or stay at home. It depends on the financial condition of the household. But only thing which bothers me is, most of the career women don't care about their family, husband and kids. There need to be fine balance between professional life and personal life. I think if you are smart, talented, skilled and educated then you should make money. I hate men / women who are selfish, not a family man and family woman.

[sheenagwapa]

i think women should be self-sufficient or at least responsible. this does not mean that women don't need men but i believe we are pur own person. i like individuality who gets to share my individuality to other

[Siri137]

What do I think? I think you're actually a man pretending to be a woman, "Melanie" :D

[Razp_Sorbet]

It's quite literally impossible to be a single income household unless you are already incredibly rich. If you can afford to not work then good for you but majority of households cannot

[bowenw]

In many places that is not possible because of the cost of living. Two salaries are required to pay the rent/mortgage as well as all the living expenses.

[Hammywillsalot]

This is maybe a more complex question than it may seem, though It appears you are asking should women be ALLOWED to work, but I could be way off, but the answer to that question is of course. Women should have the exact same rights as men in this regard. Even without the “need” for women to work, as that is irrelevant to the question being posed.

[JacobJordan]

If women don't want to work then time to be the type of woman that doesn't have to work. If you aren't that type of work too bad

[laraWM]

You should be able to do what you want

I don't think men should do all the work

[OlderAndWiser]

What is your value as a partner to a man? Why should a man look at you and say, "That's the one I want!"

[dustybiker2]

It's a fantasy to assume life will work out. If you both work you have more money and property to split if it doesn't.

[dustybiker2]

You also have more stability should you find yourself alone

[Drumlin2001]

Everyone should work. Why should anyone get a free ride? 21st century, you want equality, that means get of the sofa and work
