To wish women wouldn't call themselves mumpreneurs

It just competely devalues a woman's massive achievement of running a business to call herself a mumpreneur. You don't see men calling themselves dadpreneurs. They're just businessmen, self employed, business owners, entrepreneurs. Just makes me cringe, as a woman who runs a business who also happens to have children.

Its an article i read, not an mlm bot either. I've seen it a lot since having my children. Maybe it's one of those things that i notice all the time because it annoys me!

It's definitely an MLM thing

Sadly not only an MLM thing. I hear it a lot in all types of business groups I'm in.

But OP YANBU. "Mumpreneur" "mompreneur" "boss mom" "lady boss" "girl boss" even "fempreneur" now. They're all horrible words that need to do one out of existence.
