I literally don't see the contradiction in women working and being moms.
Well one big contradiction is time and energy. Being a mom is more than just birthing them. I find it hard to believe that a woman working full time outside the home has just as much time and energy as a stay at home mother.
I put my #1 resource on my #1 job: raising the children. Raising the children should not be a secondary task.
The pressure on working mothers is borderline unfair, and a new poll sheds more light on that.

Another problem with women working that I did not mention is that of authority. I do not want someone else to have authority over my wife and telling her what to do. I want her to be my wife.
I already have plenty for her to do.

I get that some families the wife needs to work to make ends meet for reasons. You have to pay the bills! I am not trying to make any working woman feel guilty. Some women even have husbands that pressure them into working outside the home for money. But it does seem to me to be a less than an ideal arrangement and avoided if at all possible. And I believe society would be better off if this was a common value as it used to be. And I believe we are a lessor society for having lost it.
But at least women are happier now that they have entered the workforce and men are doing more around the house and someone else is raising the children. Oh wait...
When the American Family Survey recently asked: “All things considered, has feminism benefited American families?”, only 58.6% of respondents said yes. And the people who said yes also tend to be a…
