Take a look at this article.

Yikes!

I had to double-check what year this was written in...

That women prefer part-time work is simply irrefutable. It was true back in 2007, and it’s even true among Ivy League graduates! Study after study, both here and abroad (the majority of women in the UK, Spain and other countries seek some combination of paid work and family work) shows women as a whole (the Sheryl Sandbergs notwithstanding) want multifaceted lives. They want balance.

And there’s only one way to get it: rely on a man’s more linear career goals. Unlike women, a man’s identity is inextricably linked to his paycheck. That’s how most men feel a sense of purpose. Indeed, research shows men see it as their duty to support their families even when their wives make as much money (or more) as they do!

Perhaps that’s because men can’t produce life the way women can—let’s face it: those are some serious shoes to fill—but they can produce the means to make a child’s life secure. As a nation, we dismiss this integral part of masculinity. But that doesn’t make it any less true.

So why not let husbands bring home the bulk of the bacon so women can have the balanced lives they seek? There’s no way to be a wife, a mother and a full-time employee and still create balance. But you can have balance by depending on a husband who works full-time and year-round.

1. They really, really miss Leave it to Beaver.

21. You couldn't even have a new TV show with that TITLE nowadays.

Innocent times back then, McCarthy notwithstanding.

2. Well, of course. How else will she have time to make sure her dress, hair and makeup are perfect...

....cook dinner, have coffee ready, and have the house spotless so she can greet her husband at the end of his day?

[classof56]

15. One of these 1950s pieces I read not long ago said all this and more, plus...

she needed to greet hubby in her baby doll jammies.

Good grief!

3. I honestly do not know what to say...

When I took early retirement and decided to stay home I felt useless. My husband sensed it, and put me to work helping write grants, managing his lab and such. I needed something. Even though I had my own money (my retirement) it wasn't enough for me and he sensed the shift in the relationship and helped me fix it by feeling more a partner.

These bozos actually believe women liked it like Leave it to Beaver...what idiots.

4. Surprisingly, the author is a woman

Suzanne Venker has written extensively about marriage and the family and its intersection with the culture. She is also the founder of Women for Men (WFM), a news and opinion website committed to improving gender relations and to providing much-needed support for the American male.

So she has made a career out of supporting the American male? She's perfect for Fox.

11. Her aunt is Phyllis Schlafly.

16. That explains it - I remember Phyllis Schlafly from the 70s -

I was a kid then and although my mom usually only worked part-time she really hated Phyllis. She referred to her as "the woman who runs about the country telling everyone else to stay home". Heh.

17. She's still around, still shooting off her mouth...

She's one of those people I will not mourn when she finally kicks the bucket.

22. She fought hard against the Equal Rights Amendment back in the day

Claimed women would lose rights by ratifying it and lots of scare tactics.

5. It has been on here at my folks house since yesterday when we got here

Here and there but it is their news channel.

Watching I just sit there checking off stories and talking points that have already been refuted or debunked. These are legend and lore on Fox and they are used to substantiate new stories or just rehashed to further drill them into the viewers' head.

7. Men like balance too

They want time with their kids, too.

9. Personally, I was a stay at home mom and I

loved it. I had various jobs, never a career, and have never quite understood the appeal of spending 40 plus hours per week doing shit for others.

However, I know that my experience isn't everyone's. If you're happy working, then by all means, work.

I must also add that all those years I was constantly infuriated by the lack of support for the working moms out there. Much of the world assumes that all children have a parent full time at home which simply isn't the case. And hasn't been for a couple of generations now. My mom worked most of the years i was growing up, in an era when few moms did so.

Kids aren't better off because mom stays home. They're better off when parents aren't totally stressed out about if there's enough money to pay for the basics, and the workplace and the schools don't act as if the other is the enemy.

[TBF]

14. I've done both -

I had my career in my 20s/early 30s and then retired at 40 when my second child was born.

I've been a career woman without kids, a career woman with a small child, and a stay-at-home mom.

Career woman with small child was definitely the hardest - I always felt overloaded and even if you work you are expected to pick up the slack at home (unless you can afford nannies or similar). I always felt like I was dropping the ball somewhere.

With the other 2 options it has been time-consuming but at least with some down time. The worst part about stay-at-home mom is feeling like you're not contributing an actual paycheck, but for me it is still better than trying to do it all and feeling like you're accomplishing very little.

I think there are a lot of men and women who would like a part-time option if they could afford it. And I very much envy the countries in which you get a year off paid. Then you can stay home that year while they are small and not be worried about losing your job if they are sick, etc... We could definitely use more family-friendly policies overall in this country.

18. I've had a similar role.

I quit my job right before my first child was born, and was happy to do it. I always felt I was fortunate that my husband made an income that allowed me to stay home, but I also knew that many (most?) women don't have that choice, and many who do have a choice, choose to work full time.

Because of that I always felt like it was kind of my job to volunteer at school, and be there not just for my kids, but for those who had parents who couldn't spend time at school because they had to--or wanted to--work for an income.

I have two sisters-in-law. One of them worked full time throughout her kids' childhoods, the other worked part-time through most of the young years, and I stayed "home" full time. All three of us felt fulfilled and never felt defensive about our choices, and I have great respect for both of them, and I believe they also respect me and my choices. As it should be.

10. I really expected something like "rethuglicans invented Thanksgiving"

I really would not be surprised.

[Curmudgeoness]

13. Well, I am worthless.

I have a full time job, which is what I want (because it is what I need). I have no husband. I have no man in my life. I have not given life. OMG....do I even exist?

[Politicub]

19. This sounds like it was written by North Korean propagandist

Maybe fox made a new hire?

Seriously, the people who watch fox and believe what they're seeing are batshit crazy.

[Useless in FL]

20. What are these people smoking? Kochroach fumes!

I just can't believe in my 69 years that people can be fooled into believing this stuff. I am truly saddened that "they" want to perpetrate and dispel these myths.....and the sheeple believe them!

23. Thanks for a look into their mindset. The dumb is strong with them.
