Among women I know, I don't see this attitude. Women I know who want careers actually want it because they don't want to be dependent on other people. Every woman I know either has personal experience or knows another woman with personal experience of being in an abusive domestic household and being unable to leave because of no personal income. That's a huge motivator not to be SAH.
- chasd00 4y agomy point still stands that a woman saying they want to be a "mom" and not have a career is looked down on by their peers due to the last 30 years of career propaganda. Fear of being abused is something else entirely.
- PuppyTailWags 4y agoI repeat that I don't know what you're talking about and it doesn't reflect my experience with women. Do you have sources or something?
- welshwelsh 4y agoIt's not about career, it's about independence. Anyone without the financial ability to leave has no power in a relationship and will be exploited or abused. That's not an edge case, it's an inevitable consequence of being financially dependent. It happens 100% of the time.
- fragmede 4y ago"will be" and 100% of the time sounds, pardon me, very sad a point of view. What about those that don't abuse their position of power and responsibility? There's even a popular cultural saying, "with great power comes great responsibility". Is there really no one out there with, well, good in their hearts in your world?
