should women go out to work?

Question

its answer should be like answers of a GD

Answer 1

It's selfish for women in this day in age to depend and rely on their spouse for support.

For most families, you need two incomes to survive in today's economy and even if you are wealthy enough to live on one income, women should still contribute to society in some way...working for spending money, volunteering, etc.

There's nothing worse than seeing some poor guy working 60 hours a week while his wife sits at home and spends his money. It's an insult to the women in today's world who do have to work, raise kids, and do all the other little things that need to be done.

Marriage and raising kids is a partnership. Men help raise the kids and do housework, and women help make some money. But if your values don't fit into this framework, then I suppose your allowed your own way of life.

Answer 2

Yes, women should work if they want to but men and women should then share all the responsibilities of the house and children 1/2 and 1/2 which I think a lot of them do. Ive seen some pretty good households like this. Unfortunately then the economy wont hold up for people who want the wife or husband to stay home, you need two incomes to live on due to the prices. So should or shouldnt is really a question its more like how poor do you want to be? and 'whose' job pays more. something like that

Answer 3

What's a GD?
Yes, women should work also.
I work to pass time and to make money so that i can have my own savings for the rainy days, And also,
so that i could buy the things i want.

Answer 4

Historically, they always have (at certain socioeconomic levels), so why should this century be any different?

I'm not all-powerful, so I can't direct other women (or men for that matter) what to do, but I will say that if a family can afford to have one parent at home during the formative years, it is of great benefit to the children and society. Since so many families don't see that as a possibility, I would like to see a work environment be more supportive of parenting responsibilites, even if it means offering fewer benefits.

Answer 5

It depends really, if you have 3 or more kids and your other half has a good job then it may be better to stay at home and run the house and look after the kids.

However I don't believe women should be denied of having career aspirations.

Answer 6

Women "should" do what works best for their own families. In our case, we have decided that I will work only around my children's schedule, and be available to them fulltime, for now. We seem to be surviving on one income just fine. Why are people so threatened by that?

EDIT: I should note that Ms. Proverbs 31 had "maidservants". Perhaps that was part of her secret - paid help.

Answer 7

Absolutely YES! Not only for the income, but also for the sense of accomplishment that it offers, as well as the fact that women need to have the skills and ability to support themselves if they need to.

Answer 8

if you are looking for whether it is wrong or right for women to work...consider Proverbs chapter 31. The woman who is virtuous is described as investing in property and selling her garments to merchants. She is a worker! And a savvy businesswoman at that! And praised as being a virtuous woman.

Answer 9

as a father of 2 i say yes. i have 2 girls from my past marrage and my wife loves them to death but at the same time i pay child support and if she didnt work too we would not be able to live well. i love her more than anything and she loves me because of that we do everything we can to help eachother out to live happily. she works hard and i appreciate that

Answer 10

Would you be willing to support a person that refuses to work and support themselves? I doubt it. If a woman or a man who has children makes the decision as a couple that one will stay home and be the main caregiver then that is between them. Nowadays a single woman has to work if she likes to eat and has grown accustomed to living indoors.
