According to a new survey, 66% of mothers, or two-thirds, say they'd rather be a stay-at-home mom than work. And that included 53% of mothers who have jobs . . . and say if they didn't need the money, they'd quit immediately to stay at home.
What do you think? Are feminists fading away, like a fad, or are their goals changing? I'm not sure, but I wonder if this percentage has changed from 10 years ago....Anyway, Its worth pondering.

That's changed a ton since the feminist starting fighting for equal rights. Being a Stay at home mom is just one other thing we can choose to do if we don't have to work. It's a blessing. There are stay at home dads now and that is growing. This is all about choices for everyone.






















What they get from Feminists today is essentially nothing but bad memories.
The womens rights movement had a goal for equality and the feminists are a militant branch of womens rights who served a cause in rallying the troops when they needed a man to do their fighting for them... and these militant feminists were the ones to lead as most of them possessed great anger and even hatred that they were women in some cases demanding almost that women should abandon everything that made them women.
They used to fight for things like the right to vote... then they shifted to the right to go topless in public. Face facts, the Feminists lost touch with the women of the United States decades ago and today, even most crying out for womens rights don't take part or belong to any womens rights groups.
This study reflects what even the studies done by Feminists reveal as the majority of women don't like living in a mans world... but before you slam me for saying that, most men don't like living in a mans world either. A mans world is hard labor, injuries, always talked to as a slave told what to do ...

A mans world is hard labor, injuries, always talked to as a slave told what to do how to do it and when or get screamed at with threats of how you'll lose your job if you don't do as your are told. Men work damn hard for low pay coming home to a family who wants him to be part of the family when he's so psychologically beaten down he either removes himself from the family or his worst character traits come to the surface as he's a slave at work but he's the master of his home treating his family the way he's been treated at work.
Working women understand this because when they come home, they're expected to still play the role of mom and they're so beaten down that they bring their work home with them as anger, frustration and simply being overwhelmed by life leading to depression and worse.
Then you have the children who are often left to raise themselves because even with their parents at home, it's as if they're being raised by strangers.
Another fact. In the 50's and even in the 60's, a one income family could survive as Middle Class. Since the 70's, inflation has been hidden by the government as it pushed for a two income household which concealed the inflation rate so that today two incomes are often not enough and women are rejecting the message they have been spoon fed that they have to work for a living.
We are now in the first generation of children raised by two income families where a third generation is often involved. As a result, women raised by working mothers and grandmothers want their own children to be raised with a stay at home mom where the kids will know their mothers unlike themselves who often grew up taking on the role of mom in their homes because their own mothers were working.
And what do they see the feminists doing? The same damn things they did in the 60's doing protest marches so women can go topless in public when the vast majority of women don't even want to go topless in public... and men would love it so how out of touch can you be when you're pushing an agenda few women want and most men would love to see?
There's still work to be done but now the shift is to gender and family rights as we need to refocus and find answers for the problems our modern family structure creates. We know at least one parent needs to be there for the kids and we need to reduce stress and work related depression. We need to focus on the family by focusing on who has the best earning potential to hold a job and the other spouse stay at home managing the household while monitoring an investment portfolio so if their employer shuts down to go over seas... GREAT NEWS because you have invested in your employers business and relocating could give you more money each week from your stock investment than working. Thus, you have the time and money to invest in a small business.
It's time for women to put the Feminists behind them like a bad memory and focus on gender rights because it's no longer about women or men, it's about men and women which is where the Feminists claimed they wanted to eventually get to in their objectives... we've been there for a few decades now and they refuse to take the next step so that the vast majority of women simply have abandoned the Feminist movement because it no longer represents them and hasn't for quite some time now.
LOL, seriously though, it's a good question and I have thought for some time that the rabid feminism of the 60s and 70s has been rejected by the newer generations of women, and ironically, it seems to be the strongest women that reject it.
Frankly, some days the only problem I have with the phrase "a woman's place is in the home" is that it is considered to apply to married women only! I don't even have kids and I often feel like I could find more fulfillment in things I could do from home or things I wouldn't get paid for.
Being a stay-at-home mum or dad is a choice and the fact they even have the choice would be mind-boggling/amazing and even horrifying to people years ago - weren't America considering electing a woman president? That's how far we have come and hopefully we can go even further.
If only they had Gone away at the very beginning, the world would not be in the complete mess that it is, and Gays would still be well off the agenda.
Feminism has ruined for ALL - including themselves ... they have now set the tone such that many married women HAVE to work, or feel compelled to!!
Would have bin better had they walked in the door then back out the other way in the beginning; but, No ... they seem to have left a Permanent mark on society - a deep gash! :(
Once that happens, you lose Real men :(
And you notice the article specifies MOTHERS, not all women in general.
And let's not kid ourselves here people, men are more than capable of staying home too. It doesn't have to always be the woman. Case and point, my girlfriend's dad stays home to care for her younger brothers and her mom works. Their family seems fine to me.
It's the choice. Most work because they need the money to pay bills, including daycare, but some work because they enjoy it. It's the choice made allowable by the feminist movement
Conditions have changed where it became necessary women adopt traditional male dominated roles. This did not make it ego-systonic. It is counter to the female nature. The divorce rate escalated as a result. Women (whom are organized to be "tension-retaining"). But, the OVER accumulation of these new tensions caused many problems...it is not natural. Underscoring the new anxities increaed the desire to "let go". This manifested in many different ways as well.
Now, as women CAN afford it...IF they their families can afford it...they are returning to the home...
