Didn't see you rant against those kinds of posts.

that s what i am saying that YOU LISTEN AGAIN YOU WHO BASHED HOMEMAKERS AND THOSE WHO ARE BASHING WORKING MOMS ARE EQUALLY TOXIC

so you should be the last person to judge someone here first try to cleanse your own thought process same goes for the other party

both equally REGRESSIVE

Is that what was said? Or the words either parent makes no sense to you? N anyway, how flabbergasting is it that a child can feel lonely or unloved. Now, even a child has to apologize for blatant sexism and toxic masculinity.

Yes, do keep them coming. I have my tea.

Yeah, the shield of "either parent". Oh, oh. How could I forget. And the poster herself said that she wouldn't marry a stay-at-home man. Nor would 99% of girls. So where does that leave us? Who should ideally "give up" their jobs and settle to play with the kids at home? Who's gonna do all the housework?

"Either parent". What a lovely smokescreen to hide all that tacit sexism. 😳

My observation -- this thread stopped being about Shahid and Mira a while back. Not everyone keeps tabs on Mira and her media blurbs and not everyone is aware of Shahid's sexist "reputation" that is preceding him here. Most of the people are using the topic starter's video and the title as jumping off points. At the same time, some are just spitballing ideas and trolling in between purely for kicks.

Aren't you the one who brought in the topic of "matriarchal society" out of nowhere? Now, where did that even come from? Do you even know what "matriarchy" means? And then you guys go into denial when confronted about the very obvious sexism.

I'm glad you have been following my posts closely. Yes, I was the one who used that much talked about buzzword, matriarchy, in one of the previous pages. The last sentence in that post was an obvious exaggeration I added at the end of my otherwise reasonable post that I am absolutely unapologetic about. You can roll your eyes at that all you want but there's no need to nitpick on that word alone while ignoring the rest just because you get a kick out of shoving your limited worldview down other people's throats.

Also, I didn't notice anyone bashing working mothers here. Have people stopped using their brain to comprehend posts without resorting to buzzwords or what? People are allowed to share their personal experiences... and I only saw one person share her experience as a child who grew up with a working mother and the tradeoff it came with on both ends.. the mother's and the child's. She did not, by any means, claim to represent the entire population of working women and their children.

In saying that, what's with the stubborn denial of the fact that working women have it hard? Is that so difficult to process for some around here? I'm not sure where some perspectives are coming from but when I say it's difficult for them, I'm not talking about business owners who work flexible hours like most of the women I've noticed in the Indian subcontinent. My perspective comes from the side of working women in the corporate world in the US ... who have to put in 70-80 hours a week on a regular basis if they're in well-paying jobs. How do you think they manage to have a husband, kids, and work at the same time? You want those women to deny all the hardships to meet the narrow-minded agendas of faux feminists on this forum? Good luck with that.

Btw, how about you guys drop the "I'm all for equality" Act and just say whatever you want to? Instead of doling out nonsensical, contradictory statements like, "Oh, either parent can be home makers although we know 99% women won't marry jobless men".

You guys wanna trash the evil, heartless working women for making their kids feel unloved, do it openly. Why hide?

Look at Tippy-top's post, it openly proclaimed that kids with housewife moms are better raised. Why can't you guys be brave like her? #BeAProudSexist

No offense, but aren't you making a sweeping generalization here? I empathize with what you went through in your childhood, but not every kid with working mothers have the same experience. I had a working mother, 70% of friends did. We were all very happy and carefree kids in our childhood.

So this stereotype that you're trying to push that "being a working mother means sacrificing the well-being of your kids", is a very very harmful one and actually strengthens conservative views on working mothers.

Working mothers already have a lot of judgment from society to deal with, I'm sure they don't need more. Thanks.

Ermmm, contrary to what you think, a young kid, do need parents with him/her to be taken care of properly. I was not talking about 7-8 years old kids. I was talking about newborn babies upto the age of 5-6 years. That young babies do need parental care. But unfortunately, most jobs wouldn't give any parent that long maternity leave. Mostly it's for just 6-7 months. Leaving a 5-6 months old baby alone or in care of a stranger is not a healthy way to bring him/her up.

Had you read my post more carefully, you would have realised that I am in for ANY parent doing that. Not necessarily just the mother. But yes, mothers need to be there for the baby for first 1 year at least. Because the baby needs breastfeeding. Also, this break helps the mother to recover too. After the first year, the father can take over. I am not against that at all. How am I pushing stereotypes just by stating few facts?

More than me, I wanted to point out my mother's struggle. Govt jobs might have it a little bit easier, but private sector jobs are very demanding. You need to work 8-10 hours a day. Add in 1 - 2 hours more as traveling time. So you are spending 10-12 hours outside the home. After that you are most likely to be exhausted. So managing household chores and then taking care of children do get tougher after that. It might look so easy from the outside, but it is not that easy. I was just pointing out that. People who manage that successfully, manage that by putting in their everything & they are most often left exhausted, stressed, both mentally & physically. I nowhere said that women should not aspire to have a career or women should be content at being housewives. I just said we should salute the women who manage to pull both off. We should appreciate them & not take their hardwork, sacrifices for granted saying it's no big deal. It is a big deal.

And I am opposed to imposing this tough schedule forcefully on others who have means to bypass this. Because everyone do not have it in them to go through that & not everyone is good at balancing them. Every human being is different, their energy level, stamina.... everything is different. Humans are not machines. So people need to make choices based on their own limits. Being a career woman is good. But being an at home mother is nothing to be ashamed of either. As long it's her own choice & not forced on her.

You're still taking this seriously? Get out of this thread, girl. 😆
