Can a married woman work?

[Melanie31]

I think he shouldn't be working at work. I think she should do the housework and serve her husband. Because it is not appropriate for her to work at work and have contact with men.

Can a married woman work? Yes. But I think you mean, Should a married woman have employment at an actual job? Here's a scenario for you:

A girl gets married at 20. She has a high school diploma and two years of work experience. She has a baby, then two years later, another baby, and then a third and is a SAHM. One day, her husband and sole provider gets diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Six months later, he dies. She has Social Security Benefits for herself and the kids, but that ends when the kids are 18, giving her 12 years of breathing room. However, by the time she reenters the workforce, how many employers will want to hire a 50 year old woman with no degree who hasn't been in the workforce for 30 years? Her medical insurance costs will be higher and she will be more likely to need it, she lacks experience and may not be up to date with constantly shifting technology required by many businesses.

The plot thickens if she homeschools...

The scenario of "the man works, the woman stays home" is simply not practical for many people in society today. Not to say it can't be done (I know it can and is), but it should be carefully thought through and it's a good idea for the man to make sure he has a really good disability and life insurance policy just in case.

So here's a thought: A SAHM may want to, at a minimum, volunteer if she doesn't have a job or blog or business of some kind. It shows she has some experience in a measurable way to a prospective employer.

And as for "stay home and serve her husband"..."Not... have contact with men". Oh, my. On the first: Both husband and wife serve each other in marriage to work toward something bigger than themselves. They are invested in the growth and development of the other to build the best team possible. On the second: I just... I just don't know what to say...

I treasure my independence and the fact that during divorce, we don't need to fight for money. It's a clean case.

I work and develop my skills at work. It gives me this feeling of accomplishment that menial and repetitive house chores never give. I'm respected for my skills, and I earn more than enough.

I can't understand why a woman should take care of a man. Aren't men able to take care of themselves? If women can care for themselves, it clearly means it's just a skill available for everyone.

[Mr_twoface]

I’m sorry but your views and ideology is outdated and biased perspective that diminishes women's independence and abilities. Suggesting that women should primarily obey their husbands and not work in certain environments restricts their freedom to make choices about their own lives and careers. Access to employment in diverse environments allows women to achieve financial independence, which is crucial for their empowerment and security. Restricting women from working diminishes their achievement for financial independence and can lead to economic dependency on their spouses, which can be particularly disadvantageous in situations of marital discord or separation.

Various studies have shown that workplaces benefit from gender diversity. Limiting women’s participation in the workforce only perpetuates outdated stereotypes and hinders social progress.

Women, like men, have varied interests and talents and should have the opportunity to pursue careers that fulfill them and allow them to contribute to their communities and economies.

[Amur8711]

But yet you want to fuck other men behind his back 😜

I think its up to her and her husband if she will work, plus ever since women started having careers and families having 2 incomes, has anyone noticed things got far more expensive and harder to live off one income?

[AviatorTom]

@Melanie31 you have your opinion, which I respectfully disagree with. If a woman wants to work, and it's doable, it's perfectly okay. In a marriage with kids, often both partners work, and they work out a plan where they share parenting and household duties.

My then-wife was working when she got pregnant with our first son. She took the provided maternity leave, and everyone fully expected her to return to work. She changed her mind, and decided to be a stay-at-home mom. Though it was a surprise to me, I supported that decision. She continued to stay at-home until our 3 kids were in high school, when she went back to work, initially part-time and eventually full-time.

[Apple1996]

A married woman can work but if there are kids then it's better she stays home and raise them. Daycare now a days costs more than a college degree so it's basically pointless for both parents to work unless they can somehow find free/cheap childcare

[Bagerl]

Of course a married woman can work, just like a married man can. It's not inappropriate for married people to have contact with others unless that contact is sexual or otherwise intimate in a way that breaks the agreement/trust between them and their partner.

[4ngelic]

being a housewife is totally fine but 'serving' her husband and fleeing other men like the plague is weird af...

personally think there's obv nothing wrong with married women working. besides it's kinda necessary if the husband isn't rich rich, especially if there's kids

[NamerOfStars]

It's "not appropriate" to have contact with other men? Is she not allowed to see a doctor or go grocery shopping or even just walk around in public? There are men in all those places.

You seem to have confused "wife" with "nun".

FORUM WARNING

Guy in Disguise.

[WhiteBoyChill]

You say that literally all the time without evidence though. On multiple different posts.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@WhiteBoyChill: It is a dude. Many fake pink accounts on here. LOL

[WhiteBoyChill]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy How do you know? How does anyone know?

It just seems to me like she says that anytime someone posts something she even remotely disagrees with it. “Oh, it’s just a guy trolling”

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@WhiteBoyChill: Women just don't ask questions like that.

I been on this site long enough and seen a lot of these pink anon weirdos with there troll questions and obsessed with feminism posing as a woman to let men on here how much they hate feminism etc its easy to tell is a troll pink anon vs a actual woman.

[WhiteBoyChill]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy I see. And so all women think the exact f-cking same? Do you even hear yourself right now?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

@WhiteBoyChill: I been here almost 8 years and I can tell when it's an actual woman asking a legitimate question vs a pink male anon.

[WhiteBoyChill]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy Well technically we’re all “Anons” here

[WhiteBoyChill]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy How do you know I’m a man? Am I actually? Or am I just good at pretending to be one?

[RebelinSteel]

Yeah explain that to the kids why they can’t go to college / university, why they can’t have a bigger house, better holidays, a 2nd car etc.

3rd century thinking

[Melanie31]

I don't live in america

[RebelinSteel]

What’s that got to do with my reply?

[Apple1996]

Being a one income family does not mean kids cannot have all those things you listed.

[RebelinSteel]

@Apple1996 it does to a point
If one partner makes £50k then you have half the income then if both earned £50k
How do you put two kids to university, have holidays every year, have two cars and live a decent life on half the income.
I know how much my university years costed.
I have a brother and sister also go through university
There is zero chance all three could have went through on one wage.
We would have also not had winter holidays and summer holidays
Nor lived in a big six bedroom house.

Yes it’s possible to bring up kids on one wage, however tell them why they can’t have those extra things

[Apple1996]

I'm in the US so maybe it's different here but i haven't ever found it difficult raising my kids on one income. I'm not saving for their college but saving for them to have a house/car/whatever they want to spend it on as adults. I think college is a complete waste of money. I have a big house, 2 cars and can afford vacations.
Some people are bad with their spending habits so maybe they would struggle more to afford a family on one income

[RebelinSteel]

@Apple1996 well that’s you
Do you think college is a waste of time, what if your kids want to go though?
You happy to kill their dream of being a doctor, lawyer etc
Fair enough.

[Apple1996]

Almost all of my kids are going to be 18+ when college age. That is a adult choice for them to make. As a parent it's not my responsibility to pay for their adult decisions

[RebelinSteel]

@Apple1996 no but as a parent it’s to help them with those dreams, not I’m not a parent but even I get that parent is still a parent when they get to 18+
Mine helped me with my deposit for my house I was over 18, some parents, do some don’t

[Apple1996]

I would only help with their dreams if I found them realistic lol. Most people aren't even using their degrees to get jobs. It's more beneficial to buy them a house then a degree

[TommyMountainFigure]

You don't honestly believe that. Do you? I mean I know men in your culture brainwash women into believing they are nothing, but you have to at least have some fight left in you! Surely?

[soe11]

• It's an individual choice.
• Mutual understanding and consolation.
• Depending on one person income.
• My girlfriend and I both works.
• My girlfriend's mum maintained home afters.

[andreasderjuengere]

What someone ''should'' not do is solely this person's own decision - in a marriage, based on both partners' agreements.

So she can, basically.

[LiamJHayden]

Yes, she can. And she can be awesome at her job, like...

[DrPepper12]

Kinda old school, no? If you don't need the income then sure it's fine once you agree who stays home.

[IceCreamSandwich]

Why is it not appropriate for a married woman to have male coworkers?

[exitseven]

My wife stayed home with our kids for 11 years. When our youngest was in 1st grade she wend back to work 2 or 3 mornings a week.

[DextroShade]

The world was a much better place when most women were homemakers.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Considering around maybe high 90% wise of women around the world have to work to help out the family and many of them are married with a husband and kids at some so yes.

[Fireguy17]

Sure why not.
Probably the vast majority of married women work outside the house.

[laly520]

if u say so

is it allowed to have a pfp that doesn't fit ur beliefs?

[Staximus]

Of course, who cares if she has male coworkers? Most women do. Ask long as she's not screwing them after work

[kareka]

Yea u are right
She work for her husband and he give her the salary
