@KiKi1185 It’s possible, but it’s not easy, and for women who switched to formula out of difficulties nursing or not producing enough this is extremely unhelpful.
Only 24% somewhat/strongly oppose? I am having a hard time believing this. Yes, I live in conservative Texas, but I know very few people who support mask mandates on transpiration at this point.
@kay_priceless Exactly. In real life, I don’t know anyone actively pushing masks. Even the few people I know who still wear theirs don’t seem to care that nobody around them is masking anymore.
@oldmanwilson13 @Aeiouaeaeuu@RobMcIver12@JillFilipovic It’s very complex, and not a one solution for all. The key is that we should be able to acknowledge that there are benefits and disadvantages to both and that both are acceptable choices for women to make. Working moms shouldn’t be looked down on, but neither should SAHMs.
@oldmanwilson13 @Aeiouaeaeuu@RobMcIver12@JillFilipovic some cases, I just think as someone whose been a SAHM for 6 years, that more often it’s that they are isolated and treated differently or pitied.
@oldmanwilson13 @Aeiouaeaeuu@RobMcIver12@JillFilipovic She says that SAHMs have sexist husbands who treat them as the help, and that they are very unhappy and depressed and her solution is to return to work. I think she has identified a real issue - SAHM depression is very real, but I think she has the wrong cause. Perhaps there are
@oldmanwilson13 @Aeiouaeaeuu@RobMcIver12@JillFilipovic these claims that I see, and the fact that there are many actual mothers quote tweeting and responding to this thread telling her that threads like hers are the real issue in why SAHMs are insecure … kinda think maybe she needs to get back to the drawing board.
@oldmanwilson13 @Aeiouaeaeuu@RobMcIver12@JillFilipovic I don’t see many sources to back her claims such as husbands of SAHMs see their spouses as the help and are more likely to be sexist than other husbands, or that SAHMs are unhappy specifically because they are unable to work. Since she’s not a mother, and she has no data to back
@oldmanwilson13 So you don’t agree with Jill’s absolutely insane thread? If that’s the case, than I apologize. Your response came across as a defense of Jill’s argument that is somehow based on both misogyny and misandry
People wonder why SAHMs suffer from isolation and depression, and then will say things like maybe they should go get a “fulfilling job” as if being a SAHM isn’t fulfilling. SAHMs are suffering because they feel they aren’t valued in today’s society - and it’s largely true.
@oldmanwilson13 @Aeiouaeaeuu@RobMcIver12@JillFilipovic “Get a fulfilling job” to make them happy. It’s the acknowledgment that being a SAHM is a fulfilling job & women like Jill stop pitying and belittling mothers who opt to stay home. Feminists fought for us to have choices and yet one choice is still being shamed and looked down on
@oldmanwilson13 @Aeiouaeaeuu@RobMcIver12@JillFilipovic Thats fine, you don’t have to listen to Zuby but a lot of mothers who are actively experiencing what he is saying and would agree with him on this (including myself) feel Jill’s post is one of the reasons WHY SAHM women feel isolated and depressed. The response to them isn’t
