Did they? USually its coz they think it implies women *shld* be seen as mothers/wives etc. Not politicians, doctors etc
Well yes. And they think that makes women inferior (because apparently being a stay at home mom is not a respectable choice?)
That's not the point. Point is ppl not thinking women have anything else to offer the world & seeing them in only one role.
Again, IMO that's not remotely implied by the statement. It requires a conflation of motherhood (giving birth) w/ motherhood...
.. as an occupation. One can give birth AND pursue a career. I think the people getting triggered by this bland statement are..
Because its the only one being mentioned. If someone says 'Women are our doctors, lawyers & scientists' different result.
I'm pretty sure most people have a stronger emotional connection to their immediate family than to "doctors lawyers etc"
... again, it's an emotional appeal, not a valid argument.
