    This does trouble me re: the claim 'Women are less happy since working full-time so they shouldn't have to.' Both sexes can hate work.https://twitter.com/AnonMuser/status/803198641968058368 …

        I think point is that ppl claim that being a housewife is demeaning / sexist / gender stereotype. But workplace isn't much fun.

        Which people? SHow me. I see loads of ppl saying feminists say this but no feminists saying it since 80s & 90s radfems.

        Yep. That's the branch of 80s & 90s radfems. The intersectionals who dominate now no-platform and vilify them.

        why being a stay at home mother doesn't mean you aren't a feminist.

        That's what the whole 'choice' thing was about. 'We want women to have the choice' - not force them in opposite direction.

        That they have to defend being a housewife shows that there are some feminists that consider it sexist or "gender stereotype"

        Yes! Its a radfem thing. But they don't dominate. Recognised as loons by nearly everyone including mainstream liberal feminism.

        Correlation of those trends w/work is very iffy. Also, just b/c full-time homemakers are more often satisfied w/their role...

        doesn't mean other women would be satisfied in that role.

        Do you not think that, on average, men and women prefer different work/life balances?

        .@HPluckrose Women can choose to not work, stay at home, have kids and be happy. Men can then choose to have this setup at home to be happy

        If they find a man who agrees to this. But I agree that women are the sex considered to have the right to choose.

        Not in the present legal climate. Marriage is legal suicide for a man with poorer odds of success than a casino. #IBlameFeminism

        People belittle being a housewife and they say that being a "career woman" is all important. #equality
