How many of you men really feel this way about women who work

Question

some guy wrote this on my other question is there a lot of men who think this way about women who hold down jobs

"Moms who stay home know there place, and their beauty shines to prove it! why be jealous of a career women who gets sick faster, and is more likely bossy and manly?"

Answer 1

thats stupid. why can't men give birth to children?

Answer 2

I highly doubt many truly feel that way.  There are many who troll here for reactions to supposed extreme views.  The chances of that being one's true opinion are slim, but not impossible.

Answer 3

That guy is a sexist pig who wants us to revert back to the 15th century where women were men's slaves and babymakers.  He can either go to h**l or go back to the plantation.

p.s. I'm not a racist, I just want him to consider the things he said and perhaps draw a link to the history of his race.

Answer 4

personally i think its fine if a woman chooses to work or if she chooses to be a stay at home mom

in our time a working mother would be better because of how bad the economy is

i like it better when the woman is a stay at home mom but thats just me

Answer 5

Hellooo - women need to work to pay bills like everyone else.  That's the main reason why people go to work.

Answer 6

amusing, but far from reality. The concept of women keeping the home clean only existed once in American history. That was briefly during the 1950's and we have paid the price of it since.

   I suspect the troll was a feminist who wanted to give other feminist's cannon fodder and an excuse to insult males.

   Either way the idea of a stay at home parent in the 21st is a dream. It is economically unfeasible and put's too much strain on the working parent. It might have some benefit's but financial ruin is not worth the risk and that is all that stay at home parents bring.

       If the working parent gets laid off or fired/downsized the family is in serious trouble.

     If the parents get divorced with some of the alimony laws on the book the working parent is reduced to a slave.

   And the working parent is robbed of precious time with his/her children.

Answer 7

To each their own.  

Personally, I am a woman, and I think other women who embrace the work force and choose to be intellectual are beautiful!

Women also add a wonderful touch to the career world.  We bring diversity, sensitivity, and honor to the work force!  That makes me proud and encouraged to be a woman working toward my degree.  

Answer 8

I think that a parent staying home with the kids is the best thing for a family when possible. I think most people would rather stay home and raise their children.

But it is hard for either parent to stay home nowadays.



I repect a woman who goes out and works as much as I do a man.

Answer 9

You have to understand that

A. You can't take most of the users in here serious for one

B. Most of them don't even themselves believe the S**t they spout off

C. Most of them are single with no kids

D. Most of them have issues with women and would rather have someone they can control vs.  someone who'll share equal responsibility (that might take away from his man hood).

E. And most of them only say things to get a rise of other users in here

Now days it takes both the mother and father working and brining home a decent pay check in order for a family to make it. This economy really doesn't allow any household to live off one income. That’s why when I see these guys come in here and talk noise about a woman who work, it’s too me a completely baseless argument.

Think about it, if a woman stays at home and has 2+ kids, and her husband makes let’s say 40k - 50k in New York as a police officer; how is that family really going to make it? They’ll make it, but they’ll just be getting by. Lets be realistic, you can’t feed a child on man hood, pride, hopes and dreams. It's going to take the mother leaving the role of stay at home mom and going out to either get a part time or full time job so she can work in conjunction with her husband to pay the bills. Or, take for example a single woman who may or may not have children, if she doesn’t work, how is she going to pay the rent, utilities, and childcare, what ever the case may be. Now days everyone has to work no matter who you are. Even teens take on employment to help out in the homes. The cost to living is ridiculous! And things are not the same as it was when these ideas were acceptable. Now there are some households who make it work. There are some men who are the sole provider for the household (and that's grate, I'm not knocking it). But in most cases, the average lower to middle income household requires both parents to be gainfully employed.

And it doesn’t make a woman manly to have a job. h**l everyone has to provide for themselves “A man don’t work he don’t eat”, we all need a place to stay right! Keeping hopes of a man coming along to sweep me off my feet and take care of me is not going to make ends meet. And it’s funny how some of these men say this, because the same men will complain if a woman doesn’t work and depends on a man to take care of her classifying her as lazy and “using what she’s got to get what she wants”; but on the other hand, to these same men, if you’re a woman that is employed t hen you’re a feminist, L*****n, look like a man, and you got your job based on affirmative action. So these men don’t know what they want to complain about when it comes to women. Do remember that the majority of these rants are personal in nature, they’re not aimed at anyone in here because they don’t’ know any of us in here personally, so don’t feel bad if you don’t fit their plan of what the ideal woman is. You do what you’ve got to do to make a life for your self. Mind over Matter, Pay no mind to their opinions and their opinions won’t matter.

Answer 10

I don't for the most part, although I think that being a stay-at-home mom is an admriable job.  But people who insult career women for "not knowing their place" need to join the rest of us in 2008, assuming the woman isn't neglecting her family (by the way, that last part goes for men too).

Answer 11

I think that women should get out there and work if they want to.I am an electrician and get to work with women electricians from time to time . The ones I work with have a high work standard and are good at their  job.An average family needs dual income these days .We dont live in the stoneage anymore.

Answer 12

I am not a man but in my experience with dating them...the majority certainly do feel this way...they feel emasculated by the thought that a woman can 'bring home the bacon' and be equally if not more successful than their male partners!

Its all about the male ego! I am a single woman with a child...tell me I am not supposed to work and care for my family!!!! Especially since my son's father is a deadbeat who can't keep a job or a driver's license because he would rather lay around drunk! (and no he was not this way until after we got together and he realized he enjoyed being lazy!)

Some men, however are intimidated and attracted to strong, intelligent and independent women....These men usually have a strong sense of self and have no need or reason for the 'ego trips!' Though they are few and rare...and usually in a great relationship with a successful woman!

Answer 13

Not alot.  I know alot of men who look for women to take care of them.  I wouldnt want a woman who doesnt work and just does housework she gotta work for hers too its not 1930 anymore.

Answer 14

Very few men still think that way. The fact that even a couple do is beyond me.

Answer 15

I, for one, do not.

One thing that you need to remember about this particular forum is that it is open to anyone and their opinions. There are no requirements for training or intelligence to post answers anywhere on this site.

In the quote that you have in your question, the statement is in improper English. Notice that the person used "there" and "their" interchangeably. Also, how can a woman be more likely to be "manly?"

Of course, your question itself is not a great exercise in good grammar either.

Answer 16

That guy's in high school. I read an answer by him about some issue he was having in high school, so I wouldn't put him in the "men" category. More like a little boy who still thinks girls have cooties and thinks it's funny to come on-line and say sexist and misogynist things. You'll find that if you pay close enough attention, the children on here have a problem keeping their lies straight. He has said at different times that he was married, then single, was in prison, and was a pastor. And all that before he passed the 9th grade! lol. he's just a bored kid waiting for school to start.

Answer 17

Whatever peoples' thoughts about gender roles, how does the average family get by these days without two decent incomes?
