Fraggle Underdark Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I'm confused about why you quoted me, where the full sentence was "So you neither agree nor disagree", to say "I don't agree nor disagree". Yeah I'm having trouble even coming up with a hypothesis for the duplication. I'm sure you didn't deliberately cut my sentence in half, right? Link to post Share on other sites

AspieAlly613 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Oddly specific example: "Having the expectation of a stay-at-home mom in the house is a sexist relic of the past." ... ... ... "Minimum wage should be enough for one earner to support a family of four." Link to post Share on other sites

"Minimum wage should be enough for one earner to support a family of four." Hmm I'm not sure of the hypocrisy here. Especially since the "one earner" might be a single parent. (As an aside I neither agree nor disagree with the 2nd statement above.) Link to post Share on other sites

"Minimum wage should be enough for one earner to support a family of four." Where is the hypocrisy here? The "one earner" isn't gendered; single parents exist; and due to a variety of reasons, one parent may choose or need to stay at home. There's nothing wrong with that.

"Minimum wage should be enough for one earner to support a family of four." Not sure what this is supposed to be an example of... one statement says that it's sexist to assume women want to be stay-at-home moms. The other says it shouldn't take two adults working full-time/over-time to support two kids. It would be hypocritical to say, "Having the expectation of a stay-at-home mom in the house is a sexist relic of the past, and also we should raise minimum wage so we can go back to the breadwinner father, stay-at-home mom model." Right now the two statements aren't related; as others have pointed out, the "one earner" could be either parent. Link to post Share on other sites
Morays Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I think most feminists would agree that we envision a future where both of the following are no longer present: A) the mentality that women by default should be stay-at-home moms, and B) the shaming of women who do genuinely want to be stay-at-home moms. I see no contradiction here. Link to post Share on other sites
SithLord Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I don't know how this became about stay at home moms and minimum wage (jumped to the last page and don't care about reading anything in between), but there's nothing wrong with wanting minimum wage to be high enough for single parents to be able to support their families.
