Why do women want to be housewives?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 12th, 2006 5:53 PM Author: Honey-headed Patrolman Largely because they know it's easier than the alternatives.
The only real question is whether it's worth it to the husband to support her. |
 |
Date: November 12th, 2006 6:06 PM Author: topaz newt orchestra pit Maybe she wants to support him just as much as he wants to support her. Maybe the woman wants to be a housewife because she wants to support her husband because she loves him, knowing that he's busy in the workplace all day and can't attend to family and home. And he wants to support her financially. I see it as a beautiful tradeoff and find it a bit bothersome that men view a woman who wants this as a leech.

It's a tradeoff that disproportionately benefits women. |
|
Date: November 12th, 2006 6:12 PM Author: topaz newt orchestra pit Not necessarily. A lot of women want to have the career and make the money. You're assuming that women would be making this choice to avoid having to work. But women are giving up their earning power, career experience etc...to put husband and family first. If the relationship ends, the tradeoff disproportionately benefits the man. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=525120&forum_id=2#6977925) |

Date: November 12th, 2006 6:27 PM Author: topaz newt orchestra pit There are plenty of housewives who made that choice to avoid working. But if you find a woman who wants to be a housewife for the right reasons, you've hit the jackpot. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=525120&forum_id=2#6978039) |

Date: November 12th, 2006 6:28 PM Author: beady-eyed lime church building candlestick maker Yeah, there's probably a handful that really want to stay at home and cook and clean and go grocery shopping all day. For what it's worth, that strikes me as a job in itself. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=525120&forum_id=2#6978048) |
|
Date: November 12th, 2006 6:35 PM Author: topaz newt orchestra pit Exactly. There's a lot of grunt work that goes into being a housewife. It takes a woman with an amazing heart to do all that with love. Not something you find much of anymore, unfortunately. Just women who want to be the "lazy housewife" or the "career woman", both pretty selfish pursuits. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=525120&forum_id=2#6978086) |
|
Date: November 12th, 2006 6:47 PM Author: beady-eyed lime church building candlestick maker That's pretty shitty of you to criticize females who want to have jobs. There's a big difference between wanting to work and wanting to sit around and watch TV all day.
That said, I really want to sit around and watch TV all day myself, but not at the expense of having to be dependent on some one else. |
|
Date: November 12th, 2006 6:51 PM Author: topaz newt orchestra pit OK, I'll rephrase. I don't have much respect for career women in professions that make rich people richer, who hope to cash in on their big bonuses to buy shit and act self-important. I have a lot of respect for women who actually want to use their jobs and their intelligence to help others who are not in a position to help themselves, and also women in high-earning professions who put in the hours and save that high salary earned to support a future family.
However, once marriage and family comes, I think that women should devote their energies and intelligence to supporting their husbands and raising their children. |
|
Date: November 12th, 2006 6:55 PM Author: beady-eyed lime church building candlestick maker Oh shut the fuck up. I can't fucking stand people like you who sniff and get uppity about people not being open-minded about housewives, yet are just as close-minded when it comes to "career women". Same goes for the vice versa of that.
Have fun finding a little wife.
|
|
Date: November 12th, 2006 7:01 PM Author: topaz newt orchestra pit I don't think you understood. I have no problem with women who want to work before they get married, in order to earn and save money for her future family. I have no problem with a woman who is a lawyer or I-banker who has a good heart and has her motivations in the right place.
What I hate about a lot of career women is the prestige whorishness and overall selfishness of motivation. I also don't like career women who want to neglect their obligations to their husband and family to pursue personal career goals. I'm a sucker for tradition, but if it makes more sense for the man to be the caregiver and the woman to be the financial provider in a certain relationship, I'm not going to judge that even though I wouldn't want that type of relationship for myself. |
|
Date: November 12th, 2006 7:03 PM Author: beady-eyed lime church building candlestick maker Yet you don't have the same problem with the career men?
And shut the fuck up about obligation to husband and family. Just because some one gets married, it doesn't make them the husband's slave.
Fuck off. |
|
Date: November 12th, 2006 7:05 PM Author: topaz newt orchestra pit In my experience, the man usually works with family as his motivation, not so much prestige and selfish pursuits. I get just as sickened by husbands with high-powered jobs who use their high salary and prestige to fuck their massage therapists. Husband and wife have obligations to each other.

Date: November 12th, 2006 6:33 PM Author: milky hominid when my kids are little, i want to be a housewife because i don't think i will be able to handle the stress of a job when i have been getting up a couple times a night. i want to be there for my kids and read to them, play with them, make sure they are not just watching television, helping them with homework, talking to them, etc. when they are older, perhaps i will go into a less demanding job like being a school teacher or something, but it will all depend on how the job at home (and it is a job) is going. i do not want to be a housewife just so i will not have to work. it is a matter of where my passions in life are -- and even though right now i will admit that i enjoy the prestige of working in biglaw and making $135,000 a year, ultimately i do not think that a high salary is going to make me happy when i am 40. i want to look back on my life and be pleased with it. there are some parts of being a housewife that i am not going to find incredibly enjoyable every time i do it -- like the stuff others hire a maid for -- but i will be doing it for my family.

No. You're just a lazy bitch. If the kids aren't home, there's nothing that would take up your whole day other than fucking around, being intentionally inefficient, and volunteering for stupid shit. |

By the way, Himalaya thinks things like
Himalaya
I think this is probably the root of it. We don't want to fuck America's Next Top Model. All of the ethnically ambiguous models and actresses that media touts as the most beautiful women on earth are not women I find the least bit attractive. Entertainment media is comprised of women and fags. Modeling industry is run by women and fags. Men are simple creatures. We like our blonde hair and our big tits. No funny ethnic combinations.
So I doubt you really want to allign yourself with him based on personality while bashing J's. |

|
Date: November 12th, 2006 7:30 PM Author: topaz newt orchestra pit It's just what I prefer. I want a traditional housewife. I believe that women have an undefinable something that makes them better at more nurturing pursuits than men, so thus I would prefer my wife to stay at home so she will be able to utilize best what she's good at.
Other people may prefer different things, but that's their business, their relationship. If you want to have a wife who is a career woman, go ahead. I, personally, find most women with high-powered careers to be very selfish and haughty and masculine.
And it's not about control. I would not want my wife to feel like I was in control of her. I would want her to honor me and I would honor her. Yes, I would be 'head of household' but that does not mean that I would have the right to mistreat her. |

Its this very gender role that J. is objecting to |
|
Date: November 12th, 2006 7:34 PM Author: topaz newt orchestra pit It's just my observation. There are many career women who are actually pleasant, and just because a single woman has such a career before marriage doesn't mean that I wouldn't consider her worthy wife material. It might actually be a financial benefit to the marriage if the woman and man had a large amount of assets. I just want a woman who is able to prioritize family over career when she gets married.
I just happen to be living in New York right now, where there are a plethora of career-driven cunts. |
|
Date: November 12th, 2006 7:36 PM Author: Misunderstood new version institution this is a common view. but is there actually a study done on this where career women are shown to be more prone to divorces, being bad parents, etc?

He's saying traditional relationships and traditional people are somehow better than the alternatives. That if a woman wants a career and a man wants to sit at home babysitting, there's most likely something off putting and selfish going on. That just grates on me.
|
|
Date: November 12th, 2006 7:49 PM Author: topaz newt orchestra pit If a woman wants a career and her husband is OK with doing the caregiving, this is fine. It may not be my preferred setup, but as long as one parent is devoting resources to raising the children, it's acceptable.
I do believe that traditional relationships are better than the alternatives, but I don't necessarily think "traditional people" are better than "non-traditional" people (whatever those are). As long as a person isn't a selfish, superficial, prestige-obsessed cunt, that's fine. But a lot of career women happen to fall into that category, especially in NYC. Maybe I've gotten more vociferous in my dislike of career women since I've come here and once I move back down south, I'll soften up a bit more. |

I think he'll probably just end up working from home a few days a week before our kids start school. |

These two think they're going to earn a special place in kingdom come for buying into it with no reservations. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=525120&forum_id=2#6979363) |

Date: November 12th, 2006 9:26 PM Author: Dashing Crackhouse People on either side of this debate seem to get really rigid about it - either it's the best possible thing in the world for a woman to stay home or it's horrible and anyone who does is a leech.
I wish people would just relax a little bit. Couples are different, and it's not like there's some solution that works for everyone. |

Date: November 12th, 2006 9:33 PM Author: aquamarine beta hall gay wizard Its a worldview issue. Much like debates on SUVs and public transport, religion, abortion, childrearing, AA, etc. Therefore, no one will convince anyone of anything and everyone will be angry and inflexible.

Date: November 12th, 2006 9:33 PM Author: 180 gaping Thats part of the problem that I have with this argument. People who buy into gender roles think that is the solution that works for everyone, and these two both, explicitly, buy into that.

Date: November 12th, 2006 9:37 PM Author: Dashing Crackhouse Some of that other stuff is public policy, though. At least that's worth getting worked up over. It seems so silly for people to get excited over decisions other people are making - it's easy enough to find a mate who feels the same way you do and shrug your shoulders when it comes to other people's decisions.

Date: November 12th, 2006 9:45 PM Author: 180 gaping Well its not just a matter of cereal preferences. If you are in the first camp the decisions other people make are feminist and against traditional society. The girl above thinks women are better at nurturing and childrearing, so that probably means she would agree that a man staying home to raise a child isnt just bad for that particular family, but bad for society in general.

Date: November 12th, 2006 9:51 PM Author: Dashing Crackhouse I guess. I think there's room for holding either view and still recognizing that family circumstances vary. But that might just be my worldview. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=525120&forum_id=2#6979534) |

I got into duke and georgetown for next year...but I've never had a real job (unless you count nannying, where I got paid way too much to push the bugaboo stroller to starbucks, or that time I worked at a department store so I could buy shoes) so I'm planning on marrying my boyfriend (he's at a T14 and going to do a firm job), working at legal aid for a couple years, and then staying at home and living off his salary. i'm just too pretty to work. I like the idea of wearing YSL suits and cole haan shoes to work every day...but I like my J-Lo sweatpants even more. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=525120&forum_id=2#6980292) |
