If you Choose to be a stay at home mom that is fine for you. The average family needs two incomes just to keep a roof over their head and food on the table.
Do you realize it has not been that long ago that Men after and during WORLD WAR II were Secretaries and it was Considered a Man's Job? Do you think Rosie the Riviter was a fashion statement or was a real necessity and proved during war time that women could in fact do the men's jobs. If they had not gone into the War plants and Factories while the boys were away, you might be singing Heil Hitler or might have gone to the concentration camps if you were not the perfect Aryan.
If you are inviting other women to become a STEPFORD WIFE, June Cleaver, BETTY CROCKER OR MORMON CULTIST: forget it and Keep the invitation to insanity!
Even the psalmist in Proverbs 31 admired a virtuous business woman that could bring home the bacon, make him feel good, take care of their children and keep her self respect, while earning her own money, help him keep track of his to make a more complete marriage.
There are REAL FEMALE WOMEN who Work Traditionally Male jobs that also kept their femininity and are Straight. Some of us are all that and a bag of chips. That's why you are uncomfortable and feel intimidated around them. Your man would prefer them over you.
How dare you or anyone else insult those women who even serve in the Military to protect asinine women and men like you! Apparently, you don't feel good about who you are, by attempting to be catty, exposing yourself and your own shortcomings, by insinuating they are male..that's perverted!

Yes, I am tired.
I am tired of all sorts of fundamentalists lacking the vision to see the gestalt in Women's lives. I believe that you're a woman from your post, and if so, shame on you. Just because you've traded your life for the "security" of not having to learn to earn a living for yourself, much less have an independent thought, does not mean all women should follow suit. In this country (US) women have always worked, whether on the family farm, outside the home, or in the family business. And we don't even have to wear hijab to do so! You may find that security is really an illusion anyway. Your circumstances could change in an instant, then you'd be forced to grow up or get another Sugar Daddy.

I grew up in a two parent house hold in which my father was the bread winner and my mother was the educated house wife and stay at home mother of eight children. My mother never had a driver's license and she always had to depend on my father to give her money. As a little girl, although I loved my mother, I never wanted to be like her and she encouraged my sisters and I to get our college degrees. I remember my parents being happy, but when we got older she always told us that she longed to have her own career. I have no desire to be a parent or a wife and I'm quite happy in the skin I'm in.
Contrary to what you may think, I believe most women longed for careers! Where do you think Women's Liberation came from? Women having the right to vote? And why can't a man share in the responsibility of the household? I wish my father had of paid a larger role in raising us.

another part of the illusion is that there was a time when women didnt have to work - actually there was a very brief time (somewhere around the 1950's) when women didnt usually work outside the home and also didnt have much to do in the home due to modern conveniences - this took place mostly in america - but before that time women worked at home and they had plenty of work to do - and even in that last century (and especially before the industrial revolution) most women were on farms of some sort and there was a plenty for them to do there - too much to do usually - women have always been very important to making the big picture come together and as the times have changed they have adapted as needed - and it was the women who had basically nothing to do in the fifties that decided that was for the birds

You know... men can take care of themselves. We shouldn't have to "make sure our husbands are cared for". And most likely, if a woman has a good career, her kids are eating quite well. And where on earth did you get the idea that the quality of women has to be nurturing, loving, caring, shyness, and compassion? First of all, plenty of men and women are naturally like that, and having a career does not change that. Plus, working like a man can be defined in different ways, in some cultures, working like a man means sitting at ease in an office environment, while the women toil and sweat in fields. It's all about society's perception. There's really no such thing as "men's work" or "women's work". And for your information, some women accept their "God given responsibilities" and become stay-at-home moms. For some of those women, it works out just fine. For others, like my own mother, it screws them over royally. My mom was a model housewife. Homeschooled all her kids, was shy and compassionate, etc. She wound up with a pedophile as a husband. When the inevitable divorce occured, she had no career to fall back on, no college degree to speak of. She's had to start from the bottom up, she's now working hard going to college, and working part time to support the family as much as possible, and still manages to spend time with her kids. Personally, I find it invigorating, not tiring, to work hard at bettering myself, and finding a worthwhile career. When I am ready to have kids, I plan to be more than financially stable, with or without my husband's income.

Simply because some women want to work. Some don't want kids. Sometimes the woman works while the man takes care of the house and kids. Well it really depends what your definition of a "woman" is. If its like mine(Similar to males, except can have children and a slightly different mental state and anatomy), then she, like a man, could do what she wants. She is human, and that same God gave her free choice.

I agree with the comment about the food. Children are getting fatter in this world because their parents are caring less for them, and would rather throw fast food at them, then cook them a nutritious meal. People who do this to their children, are worse than animals because even an animal will make sure their child is eating right.

Welcome to the 21st century. What family can survive on one income?
Some corrections to your mindset:
- It is not a woman's God given right to raise her kids. That's the job of both parents. You should know that men are just as capable of caring for their children as women.
- Men can take care of themselves just fine, and don't need a wife to care for them like friggin' livestock.
- Men too are capable of compassion, nurturing, loving, caring, and being shy. What does this have to do with working, even in the corporate world?
Get a grip, get out of the 19th century.

Being a real woman is doing what you want, following your dreams. Now that can be by being a stay-at-home mom, a firefighter or a CEO of some big or small company. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of those options. Women have been fighting to be of equal status of men. And it may be something we never acheive because of women like you.
What is wrong with a woman who wants to work? Nothing. Why can't a man cook dinner or pick up the kids toys at night? No reason at all. He can. Why can a man work but a woman can't? She can.
