What happened to women who were happy staying home raising children, cooking, and cleaning?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Though traditional women are desired, they often are unappreciated. Having a house always clean, 100% task delivery and perfectly well behaved kids is a lot harder than people think. Housework isn’t seen as “real work” despite some households willing to pay others to do it. Same goes for childcare, it’s just par for the course.
Opting for a lifestyle in which a woman is completely dependent upon the man can be risky, especially when it comes to domestic violence and high divorce rates. And what if she does become divorced or widowed? How easy is it to return to the workforce when you’ve been out of it for so long? And then what about dating or remarrying? Traditionally-minded men tend to view single mothers with disdain, not wanting to raise another man’s kids.

So to summarize; it’s not that there aren’t women who wouldn’t like that kind of lifestyle. There are plenty who do. There’s just a lot of risk involved.

They weren’t being respected or appreciated properly so they became feminists and got jobs.

They exist, but many of them are looking for a man worth doing that for. They want their man to be a  man . The last thing they want is to have another ‘child’ to take care of. So the kind of man that would attract them is someone who can fulfill the traditional roles of a  man.  To provide, to protect, to be responsible, to be mature, to be a leader, and to be someone who would make a great husband and father.

They realised that they are free to choose what they want to do and that classic set in stone gender roles are bullshit.
A woman can choose to do that, or a man can do that.
Men can be stay at home dad's as well.
Or they divide the tasks, also a very good way for a relationship to work.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

extinct I've never been and never will be such a woman, so I have no idea, to be honest.

RealMarek · Answer

What happened was real wages for men stagnated since the early 70s, making it increasingly difficult for them to support a household, combined with massive inflation due to the default on the US gold debt in 1971, mass immigration, and massive government spending. There are always exceptions, but for example it used to be possible to afford a home on a single grocery-store income but today this is unthinkable.

They still exist. But most of us don't want that, and most guys don't have the money to support being the sole breadwinner for a whole ass family. This isn't the 1950s anymore

Gent207-2 · Answer

Altheavas · Answer

They got tired of misogynistic, insecure, narcissistic men, and their BS. They understand their worth, and realized they don’t have to accept no one’s shit.

Horse-girl · Answer

Well that's what I'd like to do once I have a family, although it seems you need more than one person working once the children get older unless of course you've got a good job.

LazerBean · Answer

The went to the same place that men who want to be sole providers went.

SotiCoto · Answer

They're probably at home, not interacting with you.

Honestly the whole concept is out of touch with the times. If a couple isn't earning two doses of income, everything remains financially out of reach these days.

Redstang88 · Answer

They’re still the odd one around, but that’s simply just not what people want now.  And it’s also just not financially possible most places anymore

Many weren't actually happy doing that... That's fiction.

Some of them still do. It is just not really a western woman thing. If you want that you need to seek elsewhere or get lucky.
