are non working mothers betraying their sex ?

no

if one works in childcare - i assume you are non working too?

[gets popcorn and sits in safe area]

Is there such a thing?

How can mothers not work?

I'm thinking we have a troll.

Absolutely not. That's as obnoxious a question as those I see asking if working mothers are neglecting their kids. I get quite cross when i see women in a position to choose not to work outside the home being vilified for making that choice. Surely, if women are told they have to work, regardless of their home circumstances, then the whole point of feminism has been lost?

I can see how it suits some circumstances to do this temporarily but struggle to understand why any woman would choose it as a lifestyle long term . Genuinely puzzled - it seems such a waste.

[wine? mmm, let me get some canapes out, don't want to offend the wine with popcorn... cheese any one?]

I thought I posted some shit sometimes but you take the actual

Thank you

[takes the biscuit and spreads cheese on]

Shall I put some Abba on?

Fuck off

Not Betraying anyone its individual choice
If woman wants to be housewife that's her look out
Doesn't impact upon me

No. To assume that they are is to devalue nannies, nurses, cleaners, launderers, chefs and professional shoppers.

SAHMs are totally undervalued by society. The primary purpose of feminism is to promote the value of these women. No?

no you are- just making a thread like this and im not helping by replying but you have angered me (hmm)
now i will piss off to bed!

women should stick together!
where the hell does all this sillyness come from?

why ? I am asking a genuine question - it is something I really don't understand . What do these women do all day - especially if children are older and in school/nursery all day? Do they get bored/depressed ? what about financial independence ?

Who loks after the dcs?

winner takes it all

la di da whatever the lyrics are

are non working mothers betraying their sex ?

moron!

No child is in school 'all day'.

No, just wasting their education.

I don't know what 'betraying your sex' means. I don't see the world as a great big game of It's a Knockout with two huge teams.

its actually easier to go to work, i take my hat off to sahm's
