While most parents in America, no matter their gender, have to work a job in order to stay on top of bills and battle the surge in gas and inflation, Jill Filipovic, a feminist author, recently suggested that men who are married to stay-at-home wives are actually more sexist compared to those who have a working wife.
Taking her stance to Twitter, Filipovic wrote, “More mothers at home makes for worse, more sexist men who see women as mommies and helpmeets. Men with stay-at-home wives are more sexist than men with working wives; they don’t assess women’s workplace contributions fairy; and they are less likely to hire and promote women.”
Stay-at-home mothers are psychologically and emotionally worse off than working mothers by just about every measure, from depression to anxiety to anger; they are much more likely than working mothers to say that they are struggling, and less likely to say that they are thriving.

Although it is unknown what she was trying to achieve, it appeared not many on Twitter sided with the supposed feminist. National Review senior writer David Harsanyi replied, “I see my wife as a mother (among other things.) I think that job is a thousand times more difficult and more important than writing a substack. But apparently that makes me sexist.”

Another person added, “…And here I was, excited to leave FT employment outside the home to become a SAHM (by choice!) who also writes on the side. It was and continues to be a great decision for me and my family. I absolutely do not regret it.”
One person tweeted, “She got all wrong. It’s a JOY to be a homemaker & serve my husband, but again these people don’t know the Lord. God created women to be a helpmate and it says in Titus 2 that women are the keeper of the home. Culture does not rewrite the bible. And my husband is far from sexist.”

Trying to defend her stance, Filipovic also noted, “Stay-at-home mothers are psychologically and emotionally worse off than working mothers by just about every measure, from depression to anxiety to anger; they are much more likely than working mothers to say that they are struggling, and less likely to say that they are thriving.”
Still, the narrative wasn’t being welcomed as one concluded, “My husband is far from sexist and I am joyed with this life the Lord has given me. Women are *nothing more* than an easy to replace number in the working world. At home, they are someone’s world. They are irreplaceable. More moms at home creates a healthier & stronger society.”

I’m a stay-at-home wife and I highly take offense to this moron. Is there some sort of research or poll that she’s studied to come up with this asinine statement? And she says “mommies and helpmates” as if those are dirty words. I do it all at home. I run the house, the finances, help my paycheck-earning husband to go to work without worries about what’s happening or not happening at home, have raised children, and now am able to help my children with their children. My grandchildren don’t have to go to a daycare after school to be taken care of by strangers. I don’t have to worry about half-assing my job and half-assing my housework like working wives do. I also don’t have to hire a stranger to help me with housework. I have a happy 26-year marriage and my husband is far from sexist. He knows what a very important job I do. Everyone is benefitting from me being at home and everyone is well adjusted and happy. This fool doesn’t know what nonsense she’s spewing. Maybe she needs to reflect on her own situation. It must not be all joy to come up with this conclusion.
AND FEMINIST that stay home with their Partner is Gay !
