Radical feminists, would stay at home work be acceptable to your feminist ways if you were given a paycheck at the end of the week? If the answer is yes, what does that say about your thinking? That everything is about dollar signs?
(NOTE to all readers, the content below is speaking of women who were smart enough to find, sort out and choose a ethical, sane, and unselfish man for their husband.)
For the other women, who may have been burned by certain guys
(be it bf’s, husbands, or to her men in their lives), or brainwashed by feminism i can’t say much except for the fact that the best way a relationship/family works is for a person with ethical, sane, and unselfish characteristics to be wise, and insightful enough to find a mate that has them same three characteristics. Relationships can survive, when one person has these three characteristics, however it may be strained.
I am not a radical feminist either, however i have a few comments to make . I think this question is to prove a point. Jaded almost had it right, stay at home mothers do such a service that is undervalued, and under appreciated.This is where Jaded went wrong, you see Miss J mentioned a "paycheck", and not money. I know people will say it is the same. However it is really not in this situation. A paycheck means you work for a company that gave a note from the bank to reimberse you a certain amount from their reserves.Most stay at home mothers should be, and most do get money from their hubbys. She never said money does not matter.
By stating that EVERYthing is about dollar signs. I believe Miss J is not implying that money does not matter, however (i know a lot of people will have a hard time swallowing this notion) not everything is about money. Yes it is useful, and does make living easier. It is more vital than ever in society to have it. Not that i would want to try, but if you know what your doing you can survive with out money. People in other nations do it everyday.But this whole queston Miss J is asking has to more with an official paycheck from a company (VS) I assume support, or money from a hubby.
However BECAUSE there is no paycheck involved a lot of radical feminists think there is little to no value, and the stay at home mothers are "not contributing to the world"
That is the problem with a society that just sees dollar signs. Because some of the most important jobs (stay at home mothers, volunteers, etc) are non paying jobs.Yes in many respects they should be paid, how ever it is usually from the working spouse, most men i know give there wife a chunk just to spend.
Some give the whole check, to let the wife budget the money, but may keep some for him self. Why would a guy do that. Because he looks at his wife as a part of him. He is not giving HER, HIS paycheck, he is placing THEIR paycheck in her hands, cause he trusts her, loves her, and knows that she is holding down the fort, raising their future, giving the family a balance of sanity,peace through a clean, nourishing, and nice refuge from the world called a home.
So she is paid, it is just not a formal check from a company. That does not matter though. If any woman, or man came to our house, and acted condescending,mockingly, insulting, or demeaning towards my future wife because she did not work outside the house they would get a lecture from me, and my wife, they would appologize to her, beg for her forgiveness, and still may be thrown out of the house.In and out of my house, people will treat my future wife as I am treated.
