Feminists believe that if there's a difference in the world between men and women whatever the man has is inheriently better.
It's ironically very misogynistic of them to just assume whatever men have that's different must be better.
Same reason they spell women as "womyn" because they just think that the men in women inheriently makes their word subservient which it doesn't.
Same with the word history which is why they call it herstory. Even though history comes from latina "historia" which means look into and has absolutely nothing to do with gender. But hey they're feminists they'll take anything and make it about sexism even if it has nothing to do with sex.
I agree with @coralee. I don't think it is a consequence of feminism. Back in the day, men were the ones going to school and studying, and women stayed home because they didn't need such skills to begin with. Consequently, they were also not expected to voice their opinions on subjects that were men's domain. (We may have Jane Austen's romantic view on society back then, but actually those are already high classed families. The regular people were not reading nor playing the piano to entertain themselves).
Nowadays (in the West), if you're a housewife when you can choose not to be one, you're deemed either lazy or dumb. Conversely, women who work are seen as hardworking, smart and a good example to the kids - which may also not be true in all cases.
Im all for housewives. As long as they educated themselves beforehand and keep abreast of what is going on in the world. I have quite a few housewife friends. The problem is they get lost in their little sheltered lives and lose touch. None of them have a clue or even care about what is going on in our world. Their husbands cheat on them because they are bored. Some have zero appreciation that are fortunate to stay home. Nothing interesting to discuss but kids and decorating etc. Other then that if a housewife keeps life real, kudos to her!!!
Some women wanted more options. Men wouldn't let them. Women got the right for more. BUT ignorantly thought just because THEY wanted different that all women must. They looked down on the ones who chose to stay housewives because in their mind there's no difference between being forced to do something and choosing to do something.
You can bet as schoolkids they never read for pleasure.
People need to mind their on business and stop judging others. If a women wants to be a housewife, that's her decision and no one should look down on her because its her life and not anyone else. One of my sister is a housewife and no one looks down on her. She has two kids and is extremely happy. So people need to chill and stop judging others.
People who say those things are idiots. They don't know what they are talking about. They have been brainwashed by years of rhetoric from feminists.
I personally have much more respect for stay-at-home mothers than I do for professional mothers who work. In my opinion stay-at-home mothers make a sacrifice to stay home and be real mothers to their children, which is something professional mothers are too selfish to do these days.
These morons who think stay-at-home mothers sit at home and do nothing are just ignorant. It's the most demanding job in the world.
A woman who chooses to be a housewife is wasting her intelligence in my opinion. If that's what she wants to do, that's fine. It's her choice. But she's capable of more, is all.
They don't have to be an attorney. Raising children is a full time job but once they go to school, wtf are you doing all day at home? If I were a stay at home mom, I'd literally waste away with all that free time. Many women work and have kids and they turn out great. I don't see any reasonable argument for not working aside from just not wanting to put in the effort.
That's great but I meant in the sense of using that intelligence to contribute to society in some way. Personal knowledge building is great but what are you doing with it?
What you are doing all day at home could be spending time with your kids and making them go out into the world and do stuff so they become reasonably cool people that you can stand to be around and in that way, you would be building something real, something that will outlive you, and something that will be passed on to their kids, so it will outlive them.
Working isn't some great thing when all you do is get up early and go to a job you hate so you can work hard to make somebody else rich.
And having kids doesn't preclude you from doing whatever you want on the side, like running a small business or going to school online. You could raise alpacas. Kids love animals.
You'll be spending time with your kids all day until they go to school. They can still grow up to be great people without you being home all the time.
You don't have to hate your job. Get a career.
When I say stay at home mom, I mean someone who doesn't work. If she runs/has a business "on the side," 1) that's great and 2) I see that as her primary, even if it's part time.
Well, you say "she's capable of so much more," about housewives, it just sounds like. . .
Well, how many symphonies have you written? How many tons of freight do you unload per day? How many people do you currently employ, not including the UPS man who delivers your Amazon goodies?
Oh, well, what a waste your life is, you could be doing so much more, why aren't you?
You should be working at least four jobs, girl. That leaves plenty of time for night school, and in the morning, you can do yoga.
You're exaggerating what I said. Any woman can just do what their uterus was made to do. There's more to life than having kids. For me, that "more" is having a career. That isn't true for everyone of course but that's how I see it. I'm not saying every stay at home mom needs to go get a job. I just think its better use of their free time. No one has to actually listen to me
Any career the person enjoys. It doesn't have to be a doctor or something, just something the person takes pride in. I will say again, you're taking care of your kids all day until they go to school. Then you have nothing to do until they come back. Might as well use that time doing something productive.
I always wanted my career to be a housewife. I learn a lot, much more than my degree or jobs I had in the past. I am a very creative, philosophical individual. My brain needs a challenge the work place does not give me the freedom to learn new things constantly and use my creative thinking.
It's because feminism has brainwashed women that it's oppressive and degrading to women when really it's the most sexually attractive aspect of the female identity. Femininity, obedience, conservative behaviour, tradionalism and her soft natured ways are a woman's authentic default.
Nowadays modern day women are being brought up and encouraged in a fem-centric society that they should be grossly fat with pride, to treat men like garbage or with inferiority, to be highly promiscuous with numerous men, to abort children or focus on their career, to have a bad attitude and just be a down right toxic living entity.
Why can't you people see what modern day women have become from what they used to be because of feminism? The ideology is going to damage our future generation/children.

Hey idc what people do they could do whatever makes them happy. I mean i would never do that! But I also wouldn't look down on people for it. But damn from most of the answers on here people hate their job, best advice for those people is get a job you love that will also earn you lots of money which is exactly what I'm doing right now and I'm not even done college yet lool and for me I love the program in doing which is business so I'm looking forward to that (manger or finance) and then eventually have my own business. I'm really ambitious 10/10
Because people don't truly understand what a housewife is. For those who missed it, a housewife is more than just cooking food and doing chores. A housewife also can take care of the kids, run errands, keep up with the bills and all that. It's not just keep the house clean. A housewife is not a slave, especially if she consents to this lifestyle - which some have.
I think it's because nowadays people hate everything who remind them of the past (especially feminist). Just see how only short hair is very trendy nowadays. Aswell as androgynous fashion. Plus nowadays if you don't have an income for a lot of people you aren't worth anything.
@Oram52 They do it because it's trendy and everyone tell them that short hair is attractive though in reality most men (especially in America) do prefer long hair over short hair.
I think they get their hair short because of pressure, personally some people told me that my hair was too long and that I should cut it. I don't see in what my hair affect them.
If a girl wants me so much that she is willing to give up her career and be my wife - house-wife or whatever - that is extremely compelling to me. It would make me want to make so much money that it would just be silly for her to work. She could make an awesome home, and we could have so many cool parties, and have a bunch of children, and big families are the happiest, from what I've observed. I totally want to have a lot of kids. And guess what - those kids don't take care of themselves!!! Talk about the most important and vital job in the world... yep, being a good mother is that job. You will be rewarded now and FOREVER for doing that, and you know what? I'm jealous that women have the opportunity more than men for taking on the most important and rewarding job in the universe.
Majority of people don't care, its mostly feminists, and some guys as well who don't like their partner staying at home for whatever reason. I am completely in favour of girl wanting to be a house wife, but that's not what I seek in a partner. I want somebody ambitious. It doesn't mean I look down upon housewives, just simply not something that appeals to me for a partner.
This stems from feminism. The fear is that women who find the Homemaker role to be fulfilling will validate the views of traditional gender roles. There is nothing wrong with a woman giving into her genetic disposition to stay home and take care of children. That does not somehow diminish the woman as a person or make her somehow unequal. It is simply eons of evolutionary genetic code and Studies have shown that couples who fall into traditional gender roles tend to be happier long-term.
Well I don't look down upon housewives because I find them important to a family, but I do know of a story that made me mad about the position. I knew a girl that said it was her absolute goal to get pregnant by some guy who has a lot of money, so she can just be a housewife and not have do any other forms of job. And that really rubbed me the wrong way, because she said she'd do it even by poking holes in condoms. So from this story being a housewife is basically being a gold digger and lazy. And it scares me that secretly other women would like to do something similar.
Well I got made redundant few years ago. After that my partner said just stay at home. We felt very happy as a couple.
Believe me its hard work.
I organise all travelling, festivals, moving houses - any trips. I organise all the bills and pay them off.
I organise the breakfast. I make my own cereal/pancakes/bread. I make lunch. I make dinner. Sometimes my budget is very low and never have I ever not had anything for us to eat.
I make all the cleaning products.
I hand wash clothes.
I grow my own herbs.
I read about nutrition, law. Regularly.
I make sure I encourage partner for his job, create plans of our future, encourage him to save.
Sometimes I walk 6 miles to get the best groceries.
House is always clean. I clean floor with dustpan and brush and mop it by hand.
I sew my own pads.
I fix some of his clothes by hand.
I do the ironing.
--- I sometimes drive my partner from one job to another
Why would you spend time at home raising children and enjoying your time with them when you can spend 40 hours at a desk making somebody else rich? Being a wage slave is so much more fullfilling, and money is much more valuable than family.
I just don't see it as practical. You clean and cook and then what? Spend your husbands money? Unless you're also a stay at home mom, I just dont view the housewife life as practial, fulfilling or fair. But that's just my opinion. You and your spouse should do whatever you two feel is best for each of you and your relationship.
It's just because you aren't making any money!! I am a stay at home mom, my mom gives me shit about it because she worked two jobs when we grew up and she thinks i am worthless because I don't make any money.

Id only look down if it looked like they really won't trying at the expense of their partner ie It depends what you mean by housewife or husband. For most pepole it doesn't take a full time jobs worth of effort and going to the extent that would make it one just isn't necessary. So there's time to do at least a day or 2 of work min or to look for it start a business or learn skills long as your not suffering from health conditions like ms or narcolepsy that would make it rather difficult. In most households the extra income would be valuable though in some it may not be an issue.
I mean, did you think it was unreasonable to be a housewife, mother of 27, 42 pets, full time job and part time charity worker? God love. You lazy bastard.
It's just unreasonable to expect your husband to earn some money while your vagina sews itself shut and you look after the children, the house, the cooking, the cleaning, the ironing, the bills:... god you are selfish. I mean the men work 40 hours a week and need a nap. You are being unreasonable.

Could kiss you on that short hair comment. SO amny girls getting butch hair cuts then they seem confused why they don't get interest from guys.
