I suppose the argument could be made either Pro or Con. It would depend on the society. If, for example, a man and woman lived in an agricultural environment, then yes. Perhaps it would be better for her to take on tasks more suited to her physical attributes such as gathering eggs from the chicken coups, cooking the food, making clothes from the wool or cotton, up keep of the home; caring for the many children that most people in an environment such as this would need to have just in order to keep the farm going.This would appear to be what is suggested by the term "Home Maker". Whereas the man would probably do the more physically demanding work like plowing, seeding and harvesting the crops. This would be a symbiotic relationship. In a more modern culture, however, it seems that many jobs exist that men and women can do equally well. If there are children in the picture, then who ever is capable of earning the most money should work and the lesser earner could stay home to care for the children, rather than having them raised by strangers. Just one man's opinion.

Try reading some books on feminism and sociology. Women staying at home suits the capitalist, male dominated, right wing economic thinking that is prevelant in the world at the moment.

It's all tied in with the idea of the nuclear family which is a concept that has only really existed since the industrial revolution anyway.

The short answer is no, a womans place should not be in the home. Responsibilty for raising a family and looking after the home should be shared equally between both partners.

Moms should stay home



The president of Harvard University, Lawrence Summers, announced this week that he will resign from his position at the end of this academic year. This became almost inevitable after he made a speech last winter claiming "innate differences" between the sexes may well explain why more men succeed in math and sciences than do women.

Not the most radical statement in history, perhaps, but bold enough to make him a hated figure on campuses and a punching bag for radical feminists.

I don't really know if there is a different aptitude for science between men and women and don't particularly care. I do know, however, that a woman's place is in the home.

There, it's been said. The unthinkable has been uttered. I can only wonder what the various highly intelligent women who edit my column are saying as they read this, but that's hardly the point. A woman's place is in the home.

No, not every woman and not every home. But one major reason society has lost much of its stability, grace and decorum is because so many women with children have been urged to flee the "incarceration" of the family for the "freedom" of the office.

Obviously there are many women who are not mothers to whom this does not apply and also many mothers who are obliged to find employment so as keep the family together. The objection here is to the knee-jerk assumption that somehow it is natural and admirable for women to be in the paid workforce.

There is no compelling case that the world would be a better place if more women were lawyers, bankers, soldiers or engineers. There are many such arguments, however, that the world would be a far better place if more women were mothers. Which means more than the mere act of procreation. It means devotion, sacrifice and time. Not quality time, just time. Lots of it. It means refusing to accept that self-esteem can only come through a boss, water cooler gossip and a generous pension scheme.

Yes, of course, fathers are a vital part of any family and most of the gun violence in our cities has far more to do with absence of dads than the presence of guns. But a mother is unique and irreplaceable.

Nobody is forcing women to become moms, but if they do they should take their new job seriously and not pretend it is some hobby or part-time occupation. Instead, we have created a situation where many women are embarrassed to admit that they are at home with their kids.

Recently, a Tory MP told me, in a spasm of political correctness, that Canada needed more women in Parliament. I asked him why, and he reacted as if he'd never been asked the question before. Which, of course, he probably hadn't.

I continued: "Could it be argued that raising a child to be a respectful, intelligent, moral and good person is just slightly more important than sitting in a building in Ottawa and obeying the orders of some second-rate prime ministerial assistant?"

He called me an idiot. Which may be true, but it does not obscure the point: We've declared war on motherhood in the name of a better, healthier society and declared war on family in the name of women's liberty.

So the president of Harvard feels he has to resign because he dared to raise an interesting question. We can only wonder what his mom would have said. Chances are that it would have been something wonderful. Mothers are like that.

I guess this depends on your culture and belief system.

Personally, as a woman and knowing that women can think and function outside of the home quite nicely, I believe that women should have the choice to work or stay at home.

I will say this though...I do have fairly strong feelings about women staying home with their children when they are very young. Babysitters and nannies DON'T CUT IT! I don't care how driven you are...IF you have the choice, I would always recommend that women stay at home with their babies. It is such an incredible bonding experience and you miss so much when you are not there!

Now a days with so many broken homes women are forced to work. They usually are awarded with the children in a divorce but how rewarding is it to feed yourself and 3 or 4 children with maybe a hundred dollars a month besides what she can make at minimum wage?
I am sure she would like to stay home and raise her children but as of late this is almost impossible to not work and be dependent on the government to supply your needs...
There are many heartaches these days with divorce so rampant that you can tell we are in the last days.
Soon there will be relief.
God will make a home for us without end and no one will make us tremble and the earth will give an abundance of produce and we will be happy. We will live under our own vine and fig tree by well watered regions.
Can you picture it?
Study and meditate on God's word.
Pray that he hears your pleas to get away safe.

No a womens place shouldn't be in the home. If a woman want's to work there is nothing wrong with it. Some women make more money than their spouses.

what you merely defined may well be perfect, yet i actually do not care approximately American ideals. i might want my spouse to be a good mom earlier something. i don't ideas her working, and might truthfully want her to have some style of job in basic terms for her very own sake. even with the undeniable fact that, i would not want her to artwork greater beneficial than 30 hours a week. I grew up with a occupation mom and become in day care throughout the time of my youth and the summers, and in after college courses until i become 13. It become effective on the time, through fact it become all I knew. yet i would not want my toddlers starting to be up being raised with the help of others the way i become.

A womans place is where ever she da#* well feels like being. I know a lot of woman who love being at home. I know a lot of women who love being not in the home. Men should find a woman who loves being in the same place they feel she should be.

men and women are equals!
If the woman chooses to go out and work then she is free to do that, however, if she decides to stay at home then that is her own choice too!
