Liberals have chosen their latest target, and this time they’re after stay-at-home moms.
In fact, according to one leftist columnist, not only should stay-at-home moms be looked down upon, she challenged the very notion that a woman who should choose to stay home and raise her children should be illegal.
And you won’t believe her bizarre reasoning.
The article claims while it’s “ok” for a mother to stay at home and care for her child as an infant, once the child hits school-age years, a woman should be ashamed for choosing to stay home and care for her children, instead of “contributing to the workforce”.
The article goes on to claim there are “large losses” to the economy if a woman chooses to be a stay-at-home mom.
The Blaze reported:
“There are potentially large losses to the economy when women stay at home or work short part-time hours,” the report said
She acknowledged that “the role played by parents in the early months and years following the birth of a child is vital and irreplaceable.”
But once a child goes to school, she argued, opting out of the workforce should no longer be an option.
“Rather than wail about the supposed liberation in a woman’s right to choose to shun paid employment, we should make it a legal requirement that all parents of children of school-age or older are gainfully employed,” Le Marquand wrote.
She argued that “it’s time for a serious rethink of this kid-glove approach to women of child-bearing and child-rearing age.”
A legal requirement to “work” instead of raise a family?
Obviously, this leftist columnist has no idea just how much work it takes to be a stay-at-home mom.
It’s well known stay-at-home moms end up working more than the traditional 40-hour work week.
In fact, stay-at-home moms do it all and often juggle multiple priorities.
From homeschooling their children, to preparing meals each day, to keeping the entire household in order, stay-at-home moms work tirelessly, and there are no “breaks” when you’re raising a child.
There’s nothing more important than a mother investing in her child’s life.
Raising children is a full-time job, and stay-at-home moms shouldn’t feel ashamed for investing their time into their children’s future.
If a woman chooses to work after having children, there’s nothing wrong with that either, but she shouldn’t be forced.
Liberals claim to be all about “women’s rights”, but as usual, that only means “rights” they agree with.
The notion liberals care about all women is proven false yet again.
However according to the leftist columnist, it’s not about choice, but “equality”.
The Blaze reported:
“Only when it becomes the norm for all families to have both parents in paid employment, and sharing the stress of the work-home juggle, will we finally have a serious conversation about how to achieve a more balanced modern workplace,” she said.
Le Marquand wrote that feminism is “not about choice, it’s about equality.”
Stay-at-home moms have one of the toughest jobs out there and they need support and encouragement.
Why do you think liberals continue to attack traditional families?
Do you think stay-at-home moms should feel ashamed for choosing to stay home and raise their children?
