Some people believe that because a woman has hips and her body is designed for having babies she should stay home and raise children.
What would you say to a woman who cannot have children because she suffers from infertility? What if a woman simply decides that motherhood does not suit her and she would rather have a career?

I'd tell her to follow her heart.

Arkatelex, you say that women are designed to be wives and mothers first but do you also feel that men are designed to be husbands and fathers first? It seems that so many people feel that women should put their families first but with men, it's all right that they put their families way down on their list of priorities just as long as they provide a paycheck. A lot of children suffer when their fathers are too wrapped up in their careers to spend any time with them and all the toys in the world aren't going to make up for their lack of attention.

women are capable of giving birth and men are capable to inseminate and both are wired to enjoy while at it.But both have specific responsibilities when they want to produce children which need care, love protection etc, till they grow up from their parents. so there is commitment towards each other and the kids. there is love involved which is the main binding factor and the specific roles to be played in the process. then there are other choices available too for each individual and their roles and responsibilities could change. so decide and make choices collectively so that the love factor remains intact.

it shows that she is responsible because she is thinking.......it shows maturity.......
for those that think a woman was meant to be kitchen slaves.......you have a lot to learn in a short period of time, so i would suggest that you get started. my advice for the first subject would be a course in.....how to respect others.....that might be the hardest for fools.....
i say to the lady that can't have a child......
you're no less woman then she that has 15 kids and God loves you as well.......
to the women that decide to have a career instead of children.......that's your choice and NEVER feel as if you are less then those that have chosen to motherhood........
Merry Christmas, and May The Best be to You All...........

Have a career, we have more than enough people to go around. Thats the whole point of feminism, keepig women busy elseway than having babies. But if you DO want children, you should take the appropriate decisions.

Are you asking for everyone to answer based on "All women should stay home" or are you looking for support that women should have a choice?
Personally I feel if there's no children involved there are two courses of action best decided between the couple.
A) She stays home keeps a lovely house maybe a garden, keeps errands in order, makes sure dinner is on the table and her husband's needs are met. In her spare time she can shop, meet with friends and pursue hobbies.
B) She finds a career outside the home.

It's a womens and her spouses choice. If you are infertile.. adopt and you can still stay home if thats what you desire. If you are career driven.. maybe your husband would like to stay home. Its a pure matter of choice. I don't think all that many people think the women should stay home in the kitchen anymore.

arklatexrat, why do you assume that women who choose not to have children are cold and hate children based upon one woman you have met? That seems like a pretty ignorant and narrow viewpoint. Also, your use of language is disgusting.

Its a matter of choice but do it the right way If you want to do a big career go ahead and do it But if you are bringing children in this world its your duty and responsibility to be a good mother , And good mother stays home to make sure her children has all the love and the care they deserve

I feel for women with infertility. Most of them that I have known were very dissatisfied even if they had successful careers, and longed for motherhood, even if it meant artificial insemination or adoption.
Woman who decide that motherhood doesn't "suit them" scare me. My kids have a step-mom like that, and though she has never been out and out rude to them, she is very cold & it's clear that she is only tolerating them because they came with the package. Women who try to assert themselves militantly in a man's world come across one of three ways without exception in my experience EVER---dikes, sluts, or beyatches.
God made us different for a reason. No reason women can't work, especially if they have to because they are single, widowed, or divorced. But women were designed to be wives and moms & if they aren't able/willing to put family first, they will at some point be discontent with their own lives and most likely take it out on everyone around them.
Sorry, don't mean to offend, but that is reality from my experience & perspective.
